Regulations & HealthQuestion 111 of 120
You are stopped at a roadside inspection and test at 0.02 blood alcohol concentration. What happens?
a.Nothing, because you are below 0.04
b.You are cited but may continue driving
c.You are placed out of service for 24 hours because any detectable alcohol prohibits operation
d.Your CDL is revoked permanently on the spot
Explanation
Having any measured alcohol concentration while on duty triggers a 24-hour out-of-service order even below the 0.04 threshold that carries heavier penalties. Continuing to drive is prohibited, and a permanent revocation is not the immediate roadside consequence.
