Sample alcohol & drugs questions

  1. For a driver 21 or older, what alcohol concentration on a chemical test after a DWUI arrest triggers a Wyoming Administrative Per Se suspension?

    • A 0.10 percent or more
    • B 0.08 percent or more
    • C 0.02 percent or more
    • D 0.15 percent or more
    Show answer

    B. 0.08 percent or more

    If you are arrested for DWUI and your test shows 0.08 percent or more, WYDOT imposes a 90-day Administrative Per Se suspension. This happens separately from court, so even a dismissed DWUI charge does not cancel it.

  2. A 19-year-old driver in Wyoming is found with an alcohol concentration of 0.03 percent. What is the result?

    • A A suspension, because the under-21 limit is 0.02 percent
    • B Nothing happens, because the legal limit is 0.08 percent for everyone
    • C A warning only, because 0.05 percent is the youth limit
    • D Nothing, as long as the driver passes a sobriety test
    Show answer

    A. A suspension, because the under-21 limit is 0.02 percent

    If you are under 21 and in actual physical control of a vehicle with 0.02 percent alcohol or more, you will be suspended. The first offense brings a 90-day suspension. Since you cannot legally drink under 21, the limit is set close to zero.

  3. Can a Wyoming driver be convicted of DWUI with a BAC below 0.08 percent?

    • A Yes, with a BAC of 0.05 percent plus other supporting evidence
    • B No, a DWUI conviction always requires a BAC of at least 0.08 percent
    • C Yes, but only if the driver also caused a crash
    • D No, unless the driver refuses the chemical test
    Show answer

    A. Yes, with a BAC of 0.05 percent plus other supporting evidence

    A BAC of 0.08 percent or more may lead to conviction, but you can also be convicted of DWUI at 0.05 percent when other evidence shows you were impaired. Alcohol affects judgment well before 0.08, so the safest plan is not to drink and drive at all.

  4. Under Wyoming's Implied Consent law, what can happen if an arrested driver refuses a chemical test for alcohol?

    • A The driver must be released, since chemical testing is voluntary
    • B The officer must drop the DWUI charge
    • C The driver may choose to take the test a week later
    • D Law enforcement may get a warrant to require the test
    Show answer

    D. Law enforcement may get a warrant to require the test

    Driving on a public street or highway in Wyoming means you are deemed to have consented to chemical testing. If you refuse, officers may obtain a warrant so an approved tester can administer the test anyway.
