Correct answer
Less experience can make coping with alcohol’s effects harder.
Less driving experience: many driving tasks are not yet automatic, and alcohol can worsen that difficulty. Article 20 sets novice limits of 0.3 g/l in blood or 0.15 mg/l in breath during the two years following acquisition of the authorisation permitting driving. Time holding a licence counts only when driving vehicles for which that licence is sufficient. Drivers under 18 must have a zero level. No amount of drink guarantees staying below the limit or safe driving: the safest choice is not to drink if driving.
