Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Their driving privilege will be suspended for 30 days.
Under Florida's 'Zero Tolerance' law for drivers under 21, a BAC of 0.02% or higher results in an immediate 6-month administrative suspension of their driving privilege for a first offense. The closest option is 30 days, as 6 months is not an option.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Fines and points are associated with traffic infractions or DUI convictions, not the immediate administrative suspension under Zero Tolerance.
- C. Revocation until age 18 is a much harsher penalty, usually for repeated offenses or more severe violations.
- D. DUI education programs are typically part of a DUI conviction, not the immediate administrative suspension for BAC 0.02% under Zero Tolerance.
Florida Zero Tolerance Law (Under 21)
Drivers under 21 with a BAC of 0.02% or higher face immediate administrative license suspension under Florida's 'Zero Tolerance' law.
- BAC 0.02% or higher for under 21.
- First offense: 6-month license suspension.
- Second offense: 1-year license suspension.
- Applies administratively, separate from criminal DUI charges.
Memory trick: Under 21, even 'Zero Point Zero Two' means your license is 'Through' for a while.
