2 questions on Delaware’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. Delaware’s zero-tolerance statute mandates a license revocation for underage drivers with a BAC of:
- A0.05% or more
- 0.02%
- C0.10% or more
- D0.08% or more only
Answer: 0.02%. The Delaware Driver Manual states Delaware’s zero tolerance statute mandates a license revocation for underage drivers with a .02 BAC.

- A0.05% or greater
- 0.08% or greater
- C0.10% or greater
- D0.02% or greater for all ages

Driver fitness rules that hold in every state
A sample of the national driver fitness bank. All 10 are in the practice run, combined with the Delaware items above for 12 questions in total.
1. Which of these is an early warning sign of drowsy driving?
- ANoticing signs sooner
- BChecking mirrors more often
- Drifting from your lane or missing an exit
- DGripping the wheel more firmly
Answer: Drifting from your lane or missing an exit. Lane drift, repeated yawning, heavy eyelids, and missed exits or signs all indicate that fatigue is already affecting your driving.

2. In all U.S. states, it is illegal for drivers 21 or older to operate a motor vehicle with a BAC of:
- A0.10% or higher
- B0.02% or higher
- C0.05% or higher
- 0.08% or higher

3. Night driving is more demanding largely because:
- ATires grip less in darkness
- BRoads are busier after dark
- Reduced visibility and slower glare recovery limit what you can see
- DSigns are removed at night
Answer: Reduced visibility and slower glare recovery limit what you can see. You can only react to what you can see. Reduce speed so your stopping distance stays within the lit area ahead.
