Under poor driving conditions, you should increase your following distance.

Not quite. The answer is any of the above.

Under South Carolina law, the driving privileges of a driver under 21 will be suspended if he or she is found to have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above 0.02%. His or her driving privileges will also be suspended if he or she is convicted of possession of alcohol (beer, wine or liquor), even if the violation did not occur in a motor vehicle. Note: Most persons will reach a BAC of 0.02% or higher after consuming just one alcoholic drink. Hence a BAC limit of 0.02% is effectively zero tolerance.

Not quite. The answer is have a designated driver drive your vehicle.

You must assign a designated driver to drive your vehicle. The designated driver is responsible for the safe transportation of friends or family members who have been drinking alcoholic beverages.

If you maintain liability insurance, you must also keep proof of insurance in your vehicle at all times. If a police officer stops you for a traffic violation or an equipment check, you must provide your driver's license, vehicle's registration, and proof of insurance to the officer.
