If a teen fails a BAC test, which set of consequences is typical?

• A. 2-4 points added to license, 15 days license restriction, 120 hours community service, $100 fine
• B. 6-8 points added to license, 60 days license restriction, 500 hours community service, $500 fine
• C. 4-6 points added to license, 30 days license restriction, 360 community service hours, $250 fine
• D. 0 points, no license restrictions, no community service, $0 fine

Answer: (C)

The penalties for a teen who fails a BAC test under Michigan’s Segment 2 rules are designed to be a clear consequence that emphasizes responsibility and protects road safety. The typical outcome is 4-6 points added to the license, a 30-day restriction on driving privileges, 360 hours of community service, and a $250 fine. This combination balances accountability with a measurable impact on driving privileges and time spent in corrective activities, which helps deter underage drinking and driving.

Other scenarios either understate the consequences (fewer points, shorter restriction, fewer service hours, smaller fine) or overstate them (more points, longer restriction, far more service hours, higher fine), or show no penalty at all, which wouldn’t align with the seriousness of failing a BAC test for a teen.
