Sample alcohol & drugs questions

  1. At the time of a DUI arrest, a Florida driver's license is administratively suspended at what breath or blood alcohol level?

    • A .08 or higher
    • B .05 or higher
    • C .10 or higher
    • D .02 or higher
    Show answer

    A. .08 or higher

    Your license is administratively suspended at arrest if your breath or blood alcohol level is .08 or above, or if you refuse testing. Drivers under 21 face penalties at much lower levels.

  2. An officer with reasonable cause asks you to take a breath test, and you refuse for the first time. What happens under Florida's Implied Consent Law?

    • A Your license is suspended for six months
    • B Your license is automatically suspended for one year
    • C Your license is suspended for 18 months
    • D Nothing, as long as you are later found not guilty
    Show answer

    B. Your license is automatically suspended for one year

    By signing your license you agreed to take breath, blood or urine tests when lawfully asked. A first refusal brings an automatic one-year suspension, and since 2025 it is also a second-degree misdemeanor; a second refusal brings 18 months and a first-degree misdemeanor.

  3. What is the penalty for a second refusal to submit to a breath, blood or urine test in Florida?

    • A A one-year suspension and a $500 fine
    • B A six-month suspension with no criminal charge
    • C Permanent revocation of your driving privilege
    • D An 18-month suspension and a first-degree misdemeanor
    Show answer

    D. An 18-month suspension and a first-degree misdemeanor

    Refusing a second time leads to an 18-month suspension and a first-degree misdemeanor charge. The escalating penalty discourages repeat drivers from avoiding testing.

  4. A 19-year-old driver is stopped and has a BAL of .03. What happens?

    • A Their license is automatically suspended for six months
    • B Nothing, because the legal limit is .08
    • C A warning only, because the BAL is under .05
    • D Their license is revoked for a minimum of 180 days
    Show answer

    A. Their license is automatically suspended for six months

    Under zero tolerance, any driver under 21 with a BAL of .02 or higher automatically loses their license for six months. It is illegal for them to drink at all, so even a small amount counts.
