If you are under age 21 and are convicted of carrying a false ID card, you will be required to pay a $500 fine and your license will be suspended for 90 days:

Explanation

Carrying a false ID as an underage driver results in penalties regardless of whether you were operating a vehicle. This law is designed to prevent underage individuals from using false identification to gain access to restricted activities, such as purchasing alcohol.

Common Driving Test Mistakes

• Only if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.02 percent or higher (❌) — This choice is incorrect because the penalty for carrying a false ID does not depend on your BAC level. The law applies regardless of whether alcohol is involved.


• Only if you were driving at the time of arrest (❌) — This option is wrong because the offense is based on the possession of a false ID, not on whether you were operating a vehicle. The penalty is enforced regardless of driving status.
