Question: For a driver with a learner's or probationary licence in Quebec, what is the permitted Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level?

Answer options: ✅ 0.00%

  • 0.05%
  • 0.08%
  • 0.02%

Correct answer: 0.00%

Explanation: Under Quebec's Highway Safety Code, new drivers holding a learner's or probationary license are subject to a strict zero-tolerance rule, making 0.00% the only permitted BAC level. The option of 0.08% represents the federal criminal limit, while 0.05% is the threshold where provincial administrative penalties can apply to experienced drivers, and 0.02% is simply incorrect. This zero-tolerance policy exists to minimize risks among inexperienced motorists. Class 5 SAAQ exams frequently test this concept, so candidates must remember that any alcohol detected in a novice driver's system leads to an immediate license suspension, fines, and demerit points.
