Question

1. which of the following is/are true regarding florida law?

○ a. at a bal of .08, a driver is presumed to be impaired. in other words, impairment does not have to be proven.
○ b. florida statutes do not contain the phrase legal limit when describing a bal of .08, as this terminology falsely implies that it is acceptable to drive with a bal less than .08.
○ c. a driver can be convicted of driving under the influence with a bal less than .08 if it can be proven that the driver was impaired.
○ d. all of the above

Explanation:

• Option a: In Florida, a BAL (Blood Alcohol Level) of 0.08 creates a presumption of impairment, so impairment doesn't need separate proof.
• Option b: Florida statutes avoid "LEGAL LIMIT" for 0.08 BAL because that term might wrongly suggest lower BALs are acceptable to drive, but even below 0.08, impairment can be proven.
• Option c: A driver can be convicted of DUI with a BAL under 0.08 if impairment is proven (e.g., through field sobriety tests, behavior).
• Since a, b, and c are all true, option d (All of the above) is correct.

Answer:

d. All of the above
