Alex is 19 and has a probationary license. After one beer, Alex drives home, and a test shows a BAC of 0.03 percent. What is true under New Jersey law?
Correct answer: Alex broke the law, because the under-21 limit starts at 0.01 percent.
Why
Because 21 is the legal age to buy or drink alcohol in New Jersey, the state sets the limit for younger drivers at 0.01 percent, a level that one drink can reach. Penalties include loss of the driving privilege (or a delayed license), community service and an alcohol education program, on top of any other charges. For a young driver, the only safe amount of alcohol before driving is none.
