How soon after a qualifying crash must a driver avoid alcohol if post-accident testing is required?
- A.For 1 hour after the crash
- B.For 24 hours in all cases
- C.For 8 hours after the crash, or until the alcohol test is completed, whichever comes first
- D.There is no restriction after a crash
Correct answer
C. For 8 hours after the crash, or until the alcohol test is completed, whichever comes first
Why
Drinking before the post-accident test would destroy the evidence the test exists to capture. The ban lasts until the test is done or the 8-hour testing window closes, and breaking it is itself a violation.
