Question 7799

A driver obtains the class B license exactly one year after obtaining the class A2 license; what is the maximum blood alcohol level they will be allowed in order to drive?

  1. 0.5 grams of alcohol per liter of blood.
  2. 0.3 grams of alcohol per liter of blood for the next two years.
  3. 0.3 grams of alcohol per liter of blood for one year.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0.3 grams of alcohol per liter of blood for one year.

The two-year novice period starts with your first driver's license, A2 in this case, and getting a B license does not restart it. Since one year has already passed, you have one more year with the novice limit of 0.15 mg/l in exhaled air, equivalent to 0.3 g/l in blood. After that, the general limit of 0.5 g/l applies.
