Factors affecting a person's absorption of alcohol include the person's weight, their biological sex, the amount of food in their digestive tract, and the number of alcoholic beverages they have consumed. The only thing to do to remove alcohol from a person's system is to wait.

3. If you must park your vehicle in an area not usually used for parking:

Park with your reverse lights on.

Make sure your vehicle is visible to drivers approaching from any direction.

Come to a complete stop, yield to oncoming traffic or pedestrians, then proceed.

Reduce your speed and proceed with caution.

Come to a complete stop and remain stopped as long as the light is red.

0.15 percent or more.

0.08 percent or more.

7. When may you drive on the shoulder of the road?

Only when told to do so by an official.

When the car in front of you is driving too slowly.

Slowing down to look at collision scene.

Avoiding unnecessary lane changes.

Using public transportation instead of your vehicle.
