Topic 6 · Alcohol, Drugs, and Driving (DUI Laws)
What is the safest BAC for driving?
- 0.04%
- 0.08%
- 0.00% — correct answer
Why
Zero. Impairment begins below the legal limit for most people, so the only number that guarantees no impairment is 0.00%. (Handbook, Section 9.)
Practise this in the real format
Reading one answer is not the same as sitting the test. The simulator runs the first-time adult form: 36 questions, 6 mistakes allowed, 83% to pass.
