While an M1 licence holder is operating a motorcycle, his or her blood alcohol level must not be greater than
- zero ✓
- 0.04
- 0.08
- 0.05
Answer: A. zero
An M1 rider's blood alcohol level must be zero — no alcohol at all before riding.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's Level One section lists the M1 conditions directly: you must not ride after drinking, and your blood-alcohol level must be zero. That is a stricter rule than the general limit that applies to fully licensed drivers, so for an M1 holder any alcohol in the blood is over the line. The passage spells the requirement out plainly, which is why the zero figure is the one to remember.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 0.04 — 0.04 is a numeric level that does not appear as the M1 requirement, which the handbook states as zero.
- C. 0.08 — 0.08 is not the M1 standard either; the handbook sets zero alcohol for a Level One rider.
- D. 0.05 — 0.05 is not the M1 rule; the handbook requires a blood-alcohol level of zero at Level One.
Remember it
Learner levels mean zero: if you are still at M1 or M2, the only safe number in your glass is none.
