Correct answer

  • C0,15 miligramos por litro durante los dos primeros años.0.15 milligrams per litre during the first two years.
Explanation

The correct maximum breath alcohol level allowed for a novice driver is 0.15 milligrams per litre during the first two years after obtaining the driving licence. This is set out in Article 20 of the General Traffic Regulations, which states that novice drivers must respect this stricter limit to ensure road safety, because their lack of experience can make them more likely to make wrong decisions under the influence of alcohol.
