A driver under the age of 21 can be charged with Operating a Vehicle After Underage Consumption if they drive with a minimum blood alcohol content (BAC) of:
Correct answer
- 0.01 percent.
- 0.1 percent.
- 0.08 percent.
Explanation
Underage drivers are subject to a "zero tolerance" policy, meaning any detectable amount of alcohol in their system can result in legal consequences. A BAC of **0.01 percent ✅** or higher is enough for an Operating a Vehicle After Underage Consumption (OVUAC) charge.
Common Driving Test Mistakes
- 0.1 percent (❌) — This is far above the legal limit for drivers under 21. Even a much lower BAC can result in a violation.
- 0.08 percent (❌) — This is the legal BAC limit for drivers 21 and older. However, for underage drivers, even a BAC as low as 0.01 percent is illegal.
