Did you know that the UK is one of only two European countries with a drink-drive limit higher than the EU-recommended limit of 50mg alcohol per 100ml blood?
The link above points to an article published yesterday by the telegraph.co.uk that refers to a story about public support for lowering the drink driving limit and changes to drug driving legislation so that people driving under the influence of 'impairing' substances can be prosecuted in a similar way to drink drivers.
What do you think about current drink driving laws? Did you know that they are largely different in the UK to other European countries in terms of drink drive limits?
With research coming from organisations like Brake showing that someone driving with the maximum permitted level of alcohol is five times more likely to crash than if they were driving without any alcohol in their system, should we be considering banning drink driving all together?
When it's your turn to be the designated driver do you drink to your limits or avoid alcohol for the evening?
