Question 6188

If you have held your driver's license for less than 2 years, the maximum permitted alcohol level is...

  1. 0.15 milligrams of alcohol per liter of exhaled air.
  2. 0.3 milligrams of alcohol per liter of exhaled air.
  3. 0.25 milligrams of alcohol per liter of exhaled air.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0.15 milligrams of alcohol per liter of exhaled air.

Until you’ve held your first license for two years, you’re a novice driver for alcohol-limit purposes. If you’re an adult, you must not exceed 0.15 mg/l in exhaled air or 0.3 g/l in blood; if you’re a minor, the limit is 0.0. The general limit is 0.25 mg/l, while 0.3 mg/l confuses the blood alcohol figure with the breath alcohol figure.
