Sample questions from this test
In Mississippi, a driver aged 21 or older is legally under the influence at what blood alcohol content (BAC)?
- A .02% or more
- B .08% or more
- C .10% or more
- D .05% or more
Show answer
B. .08% or more
Drivers 21 and older are under the influence at a BAC of .08% or more. Even below that, alcohol slows reflexes and reaction time, so the safest choice is not to drink and drive at all.
