VerifiedIf she is on a restricted licence, and under 20 then the Land Transport Act has lower breath testing limits although the penalties are similar as for an adult. Obviously if she is still at school or tertiary education then she may not be able to pay as big a fine. The maximum penalties are 3 months jail or a fine not exceeding $2,250; and the court must order the person to be disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver licence for 3 months. The jail is unlikely but she will lose her licence and be fined-for this it may be $300 up wards. She may also be fined for driving outside of the terms of her restricted licence. This would be $200-$500
