Home › DMV Practice Tests › New York › Learner's Permit (Car) Questions › Question 93
A driver under 21 is stopped and registers a BAC of 0.04. Under New York's Zero Tolerance law, the result is:
- A.Administrative penalties, including license suspension or revocation, even though 0.04 is below the adult DWI limit
- B.No consequence, since 0.04 is under 0.08
- C.Only a verbal warning
- D.A parking-ticket-level fine with no license action
Correct answer
A. Administrative penalties, including license suspension or revocation, even though 0.04 is below the adult DWI limit
Why
Zero Tolerance makes 0.02 to 0.07 a violation for under-21 drivers handled through DMV administrative action. Underage drinking and driving risks the license itself.
