Understanding Zero Tolerance Laws
Zero tolerance laws mean just that: absolutely no room for compromise. Different from the laws for adults, these rules for drivers under the age of 21 are stricter. A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) much lower than the legal limit for adults can result in serious legal consequences. We work to ensure the youth comprehend the importance of these laws and the hefty impact they carry.
Our passion is to arm young drivers with knowledge, because when they know better, they do better. Helping to develop responsible driving habits early on is more than our job; it's our commitment to the community's safety and well-being.
