What does the Zero Tolerance Law aim to reduce?

The Zero Tolerance Law specifically targets alcohol-related incidents involving individuals under the age of 21. This law establishes stringent penalties for minors who are found to have a measurable blood alcohol concentration while operating a vehicle, reinforcing the message that underage drinking and driving is unacceptable. Its main goal is to discourage young people from consuming alcohol and subsequently driving, thus aiming to enhance road safety and reduce the risks associated with underage drinking. By creating a strict legal framework, the law seeks to prevent potential accidents and promote responsible behavior among youth.
