Is Krentsa violating any law if he blows a 0.02% BAC while driving with a restricted license?

Yes, he is violating DUI laws
No, he is not violating any laws
Yes, he is in violation of license restrictions
No, as long as he is under the legal limit

The correct answer is: Yes, he is in violation of license restrictions

The reason this answer is correct lies in the nature of a restricted license, which typically has specific conditions regarding alcohol consumption. When someone holds a restricted license, they may be legally prohibited from operating a vehicle if they have any measurable amount of alcohol in their system. A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.02% indicates that there is alcohol present, and thus the individual would be violating the terms of their restricted license. The restrictions are in place to prevent individuals who may pose a risk due to prior alcohol-related offenses from engaging in behavior that endangers themselves or others on the road. The other options imply different nuances regarding the legality of driving under the influence or with a low BAC level, but they do not take into account the specific restrictions that come with a restricted license. Even if the BAC is under the typical legal limit for DUI, the fact that there are conditions imposed on the individual's license takes precedence, making it a clear violation.
