In Italian traffic rules (Codice della Strada), what is the rule regarding the BAC threshold above which driving under the influence shifts from an administrative violation to a penal criminal offence in Italy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Above 0.8 g/l

  1. Step 1: Under Art. 186, a BAC between 0.51 and 0.8 g/l carries administrative fines and licence suspension, whereas a BAC exceeding 0.8 g/l constitutes a criminal misdemeanor prosecuted before a court. Answer: Above 0.8 g/l. Why not the others: the other options do not conform to Italian traffic regulations under the Codice della Strada.
