Drivers licensed under the Graduated Driver License Program are restricted from operating a vehicle…?
- Without airbags
- During daytime
- With a blood alcohol concentration over .08
- When any amount of alcohol has been consumed ✓
Answer: D. When any amount of alcohol has been consumed
Graduated licence drivers are restricted from driving when any amount of alcohol has been consumed.
Why this is the answer
The handbook passage on impaired driving states that if you have been drinking alcohol, your blood-alcohol level must be zero. That leaves no room for a small drink before driving: the restriction is tied to having consumed any alcohol at all, not to being over a particular limit. So the correct choice is the one saying any amount of alcohol has been consumed.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Without airbags — The passages say nothing about airbags as a condition of a graduated licence, so driving without airbags is not the restriction described.
- B. During daytime — The passages do not impose a daytime-only driving ban on graduated licence holders; the restriction concerns alcohol.
- C. With a blood alcohol concentration over .08 — A blood-alcohol concentration over .08 is not the graduated-licence rule in the passage, which requires zero after drinking rather than allowing driving up to that level.
Remember it
Think of the allowed alcohol reading as zero, not point-oh-eight, whenever a graduated driver has had a drink.
