Driver's License Test Prep
Nevada Practice DUI & Impaired Driving

For a Nevada driver under age 21, what blood alcohol concentration triggers an administrative license suspension?

  1. A.
    0.05%
  2. B.
    0.08%
  3. C.
    0.02% Correct
  4. D.
    0.01%
The Why

The answer is "0.02%"

The manual applies a stricter threshold to under-21 drivers than to adults. A chemical test showing 0.02% or more, but less than 0.08%, triggers administrative action against the driver's license.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. 0.05%

A common social-drinking figure that the manual does not use as the under-21 line. This answer substitutes a common social-drinking threshold for the printed 0.02% under-21 figure.

B. 0.08%

This is the adult illegal per se limit, and the manual sets a much tighter figure for drivers under 21. This answer reaches for the 0.08% number drilled into every DUI public-service ad and remembers it as the single legal limit that applies to every driver.

D. 0.01%

The manual's under-21 threshold is 0.02%, not this lower figure. This answer halves the printed 0.02% under-21 limit on the assumption that any measurable drink at all triggers action, which sounds strict enough to be right.
