Sample alcohol & drugs questions

  1. At what blood or breath alcohol concentration is an Alaska driver presumed to be driving under the influence?

    • A .10 or more
    • B .08 or more
    • C .05 or more
    • D .04 or more
    Show answer

    B. .08 or more

    Driving with a breath or blood alcohol concentration of .08 or more means you are presumed to be under the influence. You can still be impaired below that level, so the safest choice is not to drink and drive.

    • C 90 days
    • D 3 years
    Show answer

    C. 90 days

    A breath result of .08 or more after a DUI arrest brings a DMV revocation of 90 days for a first offense, 1 year with one prior conviction, and longer after that. This civil action is separate from the criminal case.
