3 questions on Arkansas’s own driver fitness rules
These differ from the rules that hold nationally — they are the ones that catch out drivers who studied another state’s handbook.
1. Arkansas treats underage DUI for drivers under 21 as involving a BAC of:
- A0.05% or more
- 0.02%–0.079%
- C0.10% or more
- D0.08% or more only

Answer: 11:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m., unless accompanied by a licensed driver 21+ or traveling for school, church, work, or an emergency.

The Arkansas Driver License Study Guide states a driver with an intermediate license shall not operate a motor vehicle with more than one (1) unrelated minor passenger unless accompanied by a licensed driver twenty-one (21) years or older occupying the front seat.
