What is the blood alcohol concentration limit for a learner's permit holder while driving with a licensed adult?

For a learner's permit holder in Virginia, the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit while driving with a licensed adult is set at 0.00%. This means that it is illegal for someone under a learner's permit to have any measurable amount of alcohol in their system while driving. The rationale behind this strict limit is to promote safety and ensure that new drivers, who are still learning and developing their driving skills, operate vehicles under optimal conditions free from the impairing effects of alcohol.

By enforcing a 0.00% BAC, the law aims to prevent accidents and enhance responsible driving habits from an early stage in a driver's education. This approach is particularly important for new drivers, who may still be mastering vehicle control and decision-making processes on the road.
