Question 7572

If a novice driver tests positive on a breath alcohol test with a level exceeding 0.30 mg/l in exhaled air, how many points will be deducted from their driver’s license?

  1. 3 points.
  2. 4 points.
  3. 6 points.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6 points.

You lose 6 points. During your first 2 years with a driver’s license, your maximum breath alcohol level is 0.15 mg/l. As a novice driver, you lose 4 points for a reading above 0.15 and up to and including 0.30 mg/l, and 6 if you exceed 0.30.
