0.05 percent.
.05% (0.00% for learner drivers, all drivers 18-21 and newly licensed drivers of any age for first two years of licence)
Not that I am aware of. The blood alcohol levels would be the same percentage, but men can typically drink more alcohol (even at the same age and weight and consumption rate) than women because women typically have a lower water content in their blood, so the BAC percentage isn't different, but women's BAC can rise faster.
The federal law is .08, but several states have lower tolerances. If you're under the legal drinking age of 21, a zero tolerance law is in effect.
Yes - this is one reason why limits are set for how much alcohol you can legally have in your blood
NO they dont
Yes
Yes
It means you had too much alcohol in your blood when it was tested and you will likely lose your drivers license.
Think about it for a minute. If your blood alcohol is zero, you are not drunk. You have not likely had a drink. That would be the vast majority of drivers on the road. Logistically, it would be impossible to pull over all drivers and test them for 0% alcohol.
The 'Driving Under Influence" laws in New York state are as follows. When under the age of 21, one can have a blood-alcohol percentage of 0.02%. When over the age of 21, the blood-alcohol percentage can be up to 0.08%. For comercial drivers, the blood-alcohol percentage can not exceed 0.04%.
The amount of alcohol in the blood is called blood alcohol concentration or BAC.
Alcohol impairs driving abilities. Lawmakers would like to stop inebriated people from driving because in most accidents with injuries, some of the people involved have alcohol in their blood. Breath alcohol tests are simple and fairly reliable.
