Practice question

For a Class 5 - Novice 1 licence, what is the rule regarding alcohol consumption while driving?

  1. Limited consumption allowed
  2. No consumption if under 21
  3. Allowed if not the driver
  4. Cannot consume any amount of alcohol or drugs

Answer: D — Cannot consume any amount of alcohol or drugs

A Class 5 - Novice 1 licence is typically given to new drivers or those who have not yet fully completed their driving test. As such, it is important for these drivers to be fully focused and responsible while driving. Consuming any amount of alcohol or drugs can greatly impair one's ability to make safe and responsible decisions while operating a vehicle. This is why the rule for alcohol consumption while driving with a Class 5 - Novice 1 licence is zero tolerance. Option A is incorrect because although there may be a limited amount of alcohol consumption allowed for someone with a full licence, this is not the case for a Class 5 - Novice 1 licence. Option B is incorrect because regardless of age, any amount of alcohol consumption is not allowed while driving. Option C is incorrect because all drivers, regardless of their licence class, are expected to be responsible and not consume
