Under DUI, the vehicle shall be impounded unless which of the following is present?

• A. A co-owner, a spouse, or an immediate family member is present.
• B. A neighbor is present.
• C. A friend is present.
• D. No one is present.

Answer: (C)

This item tests when a DUI vehicle can avoid impoundment by having someone on scene to take custody or arrange safe transport. If a capable, responsible person is present, the vehicle doesn’t have to be towed and stored. In this scenario, a friend on scene provides that on-site capable party to take responsibility or help arrange a safe ride, so the vehicle is not impounded. Without someone like that present, the officer would typically impound the vehicle. The other options describe people who aren’t the exempting presence defined for this specific situation, so they don’t fit the test’s stated exception.
