How does the Zero Tolerance Law affect minors?

The Zero Tolerance Law specifically addresses the issue of underage drinking and driving, establishing that minors are prohibited from operating a vehicle with any measurable blood alcohol concentration (BAC). This law is designed to prevent minors from driving while impaired, recognizing that any level of alcohol can significantly affect their ability to drive safely. By enforcing strict penalties for minors caught driving under the influence, the law aims to deter such behavior and promote safer road conditions for all drivers. This underscores the critical understanding that there is no acceptable level of alcohol consumption for those under the legal drinking age, reinforcing the importance of responsible behavior regarding alcohol and driving among young individuals.
