In Danish traffic rules, can a driver be convicted of drunk driving (spirituskørsel) with a blood alcohol content below 0.50 promille?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Yes, if the driver is unable to operate the vehicle in a completely safe manner due to alcohol consumption
- Step 1: Under Færdselsloven § 53 stk. 2, if a driver's ability to drive safely is compromised by alcohol, drugs, or illness, they can be convicted even if their BAC measures under 0.50 promille. Answer: Yes, if the driver is unable to operate the vehicle in a completely safe manner due to alcohol consumption. Why not the others: 0.50 is an objective limit above which guilt is automatic, but below 0.50 impairment remains unlawful, accident partner vehicle type is irrelevant, and age does not grant exceptions.
