New York's zero-tolerance law applies to drivers under age 21. What BAC range does a zero-tolerance violation cover?
Correct answer: 0.02 to 0.07 percent
Why
The legal age to buy or possess alcohol in New York is 21, so younger drivers face a stricter standard. A zero-tolerance finding is made at a DMV hearing and brings a six-month license suspension; a second one brings revocation for at least one year or until age 21, whichever is longer. Drivers under 21 are about 4 percent of all drivers but about 7 percent of impaired drivers in fatal crashes.
