Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
For an adult driving an ordinary passenger vehicle, at what blood alcohol concentration does Massachusetts’ criminal per-se alcohol threshold begin?
Correct answer: 0.08%.
Why
The criminal per-se alcohol threshold begins at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08%. Operating under the influence can also be established through impairment below that number. A test result below 0.08% is not a guarantee that driving is safe or lawful.
