Driver C is 19 years old. A breath test at the request of an officer shows a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.04%. What is correct under Rhode Island law?
Correct answer: Driver C was driving while impaired, because the under-21 range starts at 0.02%.
Why
The legal drinking age in Rhode Island is 21, so the law sets a much lower level for younger drivers. In practice, a driver under 21 should not drink at all before driving. The penalties for driving while impaired include a license suspension, a fine, community service and a special course on driving while intoxicated.
