If you are under 21 and have been drinking, why is driving especially risky legally in Pennsylvania?
- A.Underage drivers are not subject to DUI laws
- B.Underage drivers may drive up to 0.10% if accompanied by an adult
- C.There is no difference from adult drivers
- D.The illegal BAC threshold is only 0.02%, so even a small amount can result in a DUI charge
Correct answer
D. The illegal BAC threshold is only 0.02%, so even a small amount can result in a DUI charge
Why
Pennsylvania's 0.02% limit for drivers under 21 means almost any drinking puts them over the limit. Underage drivers face DUI consequences at a far lower BAC than adults.
