Theory Mastery

You are 19 years old and obtained your B driving licence three years ago. At the birthday party in Zwolle you drank one glass of wine (~0.25 promille) at eight o'clock. At half past nine, over an hour and a half later, you drink a strong cup of coffee and drive off. What applies to you?

  1. You may go up to 0.5‰, just like an experienced driver, so the glass of wine is not a problem either way
  2. ✓ You are a novice driver (limit 0.2‰); after ninety minutes your promillage has naturally dropped to around 0.05-0.15‰, so it may already be under the limit
  3. You are a novice driver (limit 0.2‰); the coffee dropped your promillage extra, so you are under the limit

Correct answer: You are a novice driver (limit 0.2‰); after ninety minutes your promillage has naturally dropped to around 0.05-0.15‰, so it may already be under the limit

Explanation

Coffee changes nothing about the 0.1-0.2‰/hour breakdown rate
