1. What is Wisconsin's legal alcohol concentration limit for a driver under 21?
Why: Wisconsin's handbook states the legal alcohol concentration allowed for drivers under 21 is 0.00% -- meaning the driver cannot have any alcohol in their system while driving, a stricter "Absolute Sobriety" standard than a typical state's low, but nonzero, zero-tolerance threshold.
2. What happens if a Wisconsin driver refuses a police officer's request for a prohibited-alcohol-concentration (PAC) test?
Why: Wisconsin's Implied Consent Law requires a driver to take a requested PAC test; refusing means the officer must arrest the driver for violating that law, and the driver's driving privileges are revoked for at least one year, plus other consequences.
3. Who does Wisconsin's cell-phone restriction for driving apply to, according to the handbook?
Why: Wisconsin's cell-phone rule for driving applies to every instruction-permit and probationary-license holder regardless of age -- they may only use a phone to report an emergency -- while regular license holders are simply encouraged to avoid phone use or use a hands-free option.
4. How does Wisconsin's handbook treat the presence of any controlled substance in a driver's system?
Why: Wisconsin's handbook states that any amount of a controlled substance is treated the same as operating impaired, citing research that marijuana users make more driving mistakes, and it urges drivers to check prescription and non-prescription drug labels for effects before driving.
