Question: In Quebec, a 'warn range' BAC (typically 0.05–0.079) results in:

Answer options:

• No consequence ✅ Immediate roadside suspension and possible vehicle impoundment
• Criminal charge only
• A fine only

Correct answer: Immediate roadside suspension and possible vehicle impoundment

Explanation: In Quebec, a BAC in the warn range of 0.05 to 0.079 triggers immediate provincial administrative penalties under the Highway Safety Code, resulting in a roadside license suspension and possible vehicle impoundment. This makes the suspension option correct. It is not a criminal charge, as criminal offenses under the Canadian Criminal Code typically begin at 0.08 BAC, nor is it a fine only or free of consequences, because the immediate suspension is mandated to remove potentially impaired drivers from the road. For the SAAQ exam, candidates must remember that provincial administrative sanctions apply well before the federal criminal threshold of 0.08 is reached.
