Pennsylvania Practice DUI & Impaired Driving

According to the manual's High Rate DUI table, at what BAC is a commercial vehicle driver subject to those penalties?

  1. A.
    .04 or more Correct
  2. B.
    .02 or more
  3. C.
    .08 or more
  4. D.
    .10 or more
The Why

The answer is ".04 or more"

Table 2's note lists commercial vehicle drivers at a BAC of .04 or more, a stricter cutoff than the .10 to .159 headline range Table 2 sets for legal-drinking-age non-commercial drivers. A driver drawn to C is carrying the .08 adult DUI limit across to commercial drivers and skipping the separate commercial-driver figure Table 2 spells out in its note.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

B. .02 or more

The .02 figure in Table 2's note covers school bus drivers and under-21 drivers, not commercial vehicle drivers. This answer picks the first BAC number that appears in Table 2's note as if a single threshold covered every non-standard driver listed there.

C. .08 or more

The .08 figure is the general adult DUI level from Table 1; commercial vehicle drivers face the stricter .04 threshold spelled out in Table 2's note. This answer carries the .08 legal-drinking-age adult limit across to commercial drivers and ignores the separate commercial-driver figure Table 2 sets out.

D. .10 or more

.10 is the lower bound of Pennsylvania's High Rate BAC range for legal-drinking-age non-commercial drivers, not the commercial-driver threshold in the same table's note. This answer reads the .10 headline at the top of Table 2 as the commercial-driver figure and skips the .04 spelled out in the note underneath.
