1. What are Nebraska's BAC thresholds for driving under the influence?
Why: Nebraska's BAC thresholds are .02% or higher under 21, .04% or higher for commercial vehicle operators, and .08% or higher regardless of age or vehicle type.
2. What is the administrative penalty for refusing a chemical test under Nebraska's implied consent law?
Why: Refusing a chemical test results in a one-year administrative license revocation, while the criminal penalty for refusal matches a DUI conviction at .15 BAC or higher, with revocation of two to fifteen years depending on prior convictions.
3. At what BAC does the manual say a driver's simple reaction time becomes impaired?
Why: The manual states simple reaction time is impaired starting at .04% BAC, and impairment on choice-based responses begins even earlier, at .03% BAC.
4. By how much does a driver's fatal-crash risk increase at .08% BAC compared to a non-drinking driver, according to the manual?
Why: At .05% BAC, a driver is twice as likely to be in a fatal crash as a non-drinking driver; by .08% BAC, that likelihood triples.
5. How many points does a third drunk driving offense carry under Nebraska's point system?
Why: A third drunk driving offense carries the maximum 12 points under Nebraska's point system, the same as a motor vehicle homicide conviction; a standard DUI conviction carries 6 points.
6. What happens when a Nebraska driver accumulates 12 points within a two-year period?
Why: Accumulating 12 points within a two-year period causes automatic license revocation for six months, requiring a DMV-approved 4-hour driver's education course (at the driver's own cost) before reinstatement.
7. How often can a Nebraska driver use the 2-point credit from a DMV-approved driver improvement course?
Why: A driver can receive a 2-point credit by completing a DMV-approved driver improvement course before their twelfth point accumulates, but this credit can only be used once every five years.
