Question 5270
What alcohol level must bicycle riders not exceed when riding on roads open to general traffic?
- Cyclists are not required to take breath alcohol tests.
- 0.15 milligrams per liter of exhaled air.
- 0.25 milligrams per liter of exhaled air.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 0.25 milligrams per liter of exhaled air.
An adult cyclist is subject to the general limit of 0.25 mg/l in breath or 0.5 g/l in blood and must take the test if officers ask, like the cyclist in the picture, who is being signaled to stop by an officer. If the cyclist is a minor, the limit is 0.0. The limit of 0.15 mg/l applies to novice drivers and professional transport, not to bicycle riding.
