Under 21 years old, a BAC of ______% or more can lead to an arrest.

• A. 0.08%
• B. 0.04%
• C. 0.06%
• D. 0.02%

Answer: (D)

Underage drivers in Washington are subject to zero tolerance for alcohol. The law makes it illegal to drive with any detectable amount of alcohol in your bloodstream if you’re under 21. A BAC of 0.02% or higher can lead to an arrest, meaning even a very small amount of alcohol can trigger a DUI arrest for someone under 21. Higher BAC levels would also result in arrest, but 0.02% is the threshold that starts the rule, which is different from the 0.08% limit that applies to drivers 21 and older.
