The intoxication effects of alcohol are directly related to blood-alcohol content levels. Which of the following levels does not warrant an arrest?

Question

Responses

BAC of 4.0 percent
BAC of 4.0 percent

BAC 0.25 percent
BAC 0.25 percent

BAC of 0.03 percent
BAC of 0.03 percent

BAC of 3.0 percent

Answer 1

In most jurisdictions, a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 percent is commonly considered the legal limit for driving under the influence (DUI). Levels such as a BAC of 0.25 percent and 4.0 percent are generally well above this limit and would likely warrant an arrest.

However, a BAC of 0.03 percent is usually regarded as relatively low and does not typically warrant an arrest, as it is below the legal limit for driving intoxicated in many places. Hence, the correct answer would be:

BAC of 0.03 percent

Answer 2

Drinking alcohol _____ is shown by research to cause impairment of driving.

Responses

BAC

Answer 6

Answer 8

The alcohol test done with a breathalyzer is only used for screening because its readings are not well related to the alcohol content in the lungs and blood.

Responses

False
False

True

Answer 9

The statement is False. Breathalyzers are commonly used as a primary method for estimating blood alcohol content (BAC) and are generally considered reliable for screening purposes. While they may not be as precise as blood tests, the readings from breathalyzers are designed to correlate reasonably well with the alcohol content in the blood, making them suitable for both screening and preliminary assessments in DUI situations.

So, the correct response is:

False.
