If you register a BAC from ___________ (known as the 'warn range') you will receive an immediate driver's licence suspension.
- .07 to .08
- .06 to .10
- .05 to .08 ✓
- .06 to .12
Answer: C. .05 to .08
The warn range is .05 to .08, and registering a blood-alcohol concentration in that range brings an immediate driver's licence suspension.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says the warn range is a blood-alcohol concentration of .05 to .08. It also says a driver caught in that range gets an immediate roadside licence suspension. The passage gives three days for a first occurrence and seven days for a second, with a remedial alcohol-education program and increased penalties after that. So the range that triggers the immediate suspension is .05 to .08, which matches the bank answer.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. .07 to .08 — A range of .07 to .08 is narrower and starts higher than the warn range the handbook describes.
- B. .06 to .10 — A range of .06 to .10 does not match the handbook's warn range of .05 to .08.
- D. .06 to .12 — A range of .06 to .12 does not match the handbook's warn range of .05 to .08.
Remember it
Remember the warn range as five-to-eight: .05 up to .08.
