What is the allowable alcohol concentration level for a GDL driver?

  1. 0.02 percent

  2. 0.05 percent

  3. 0.00 percent

  4. 0.08 percent

The correct answer is: 0.00 percent

For a GDL (Graduated Driver's License) driver in Alberta, the allowable alcohol concentration level is 0.00 percent. This rule is established to ensure that new and inexperienced drivers, who are still learning the complexities of operating a vehicle, remain entirely sober while driving. The goal is to foster a safe driving environment and to reduce the risk of accidents that can occur due to impaired judgment or coordination caused by alcohol consumption. By enforcing a zero-tolerance policy, Alberta aims to prevent any level of alcohol from affecting the driving ability of GDL drivers, recognizing that even small amounts of alcohol can impair reaction times and decision-making skills. This standard is more stringent than that for fully licensed drivers, who may have a higher permissible blood alcohol concentration level.
