Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Jordan is 19 and plans to drive home from a party. Under New Mexico law, what alcohol concentration in the blood or breath is over the limit for a driver under 21?
Correct answer: 0.02 percent or more
Why
Even one drink can affect your driving, and a person under 21 may not buy, drink or have alcohol at all, so the safe plan is not to drink. Under NMSA 66-8-110 and 66-8-111, a test result of 0.02 or more for a driver under 21 leads to revocation of the license under the Implied Consent Act. The criminal DWI limit for an ordinary vehicle stays at 0.08 for every age.
