Now listen, for a P plater in Western Australia you can not have ANY alcohol. This means a BAC of ZERO (0). So if he had just had a single sip of beer at a party, or just while out at dinner with his family, he is still above the limit.
Does NOT mean he is drunk, does NOT mean his motor skills are impaired, does NOT mean it had affected him in any way. He was just above the limit as far as the law is concerned. Had he been a year older and hence had a full license, the law would have allowed him to have ONE standard drink.
So by your definition, having 1 standard drink on a full license is WORSE than having 1 sip while on your provisional license?
Stop being a hero, it doesn't always work.
