For a driver age 21 or older in New York, driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of what level or higher is per se illegal?

• A.0.08%
• B.0.05%
• C.0.10%
• D.0.02%

Why

A BAC of 0.08 or higher is Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) for drivers 21 and over. Impairment begins well below that level, so the safest choice is never to drive after drinking.
