Karin Reed who is The Huntington Beach Police Chief Ken Small's Administrative Assitant asked that I mention this in here:
Zero Tolerance for Teen Drivers and Alcohol
Teen drivers are issued Provisional Licenses that restrict the hours of when the teen can legally drive and who the teen driver can have as passengers. In addition, Provisional License holders, and anyone under 21 years of age, are subject to the Zero Tolerance Law.

The Zero Tolerance Law states it is against the law to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .01% or higher if you are under 21 years of age. Under this law, on a first offense, the Provisional License holder's driving privilege will be suspended for one year if:
· The BAC is .01% BAC or higher, or
· The driver refuses the preliminary alcohol screening test
· The driver fails to complete the preliminary alcohol screening test
In addition, for drivers under 21 years of age, it is against the law to purchase beer, wine or hard liquor. It is also illegal to have personal possession of alcohol or alcohol in your car unless you are with a parent.

There is no safe way to drive while under the influence. Teen drivers need to remember one drink can make them an unsafe driver. The police department's message is be safe – don't drink and drive.
