In Texas, zero tolerance policy applies to

• A. Seniors
• B. All drivers over 21
• C. Minors
• D. Truck drivers

Answer: (C)

Zero tolerance means there is no permissible level of alcohol for someone who is under 21 when they’re behind the wheel. In Texas, this policy targets minors, so if a driver younger than 21 has any detectable amount of alcohol in their system while driving, they can face license suspension and penalties, even if their driving isn’t visibly impaired. For adults, the law uses measurable BAC limits to determine impairment and charges, so the zero-tolerance standard isn’t applied to them in the same way. (Note: commercial truck drivers have their own stricter rules, but the exam focuses on the minor‑driving policy.)
