Drink-drive levels in France and UK

Your May article on drink-driving ( Margin of error must now be given ) states “the current drink-drive limit in France is a maximum of 0.5g of alcohol per litre of blood (0.8g in the UK)”.

Published Monday 03 June 2019 - 14:57 Modified Monday 03 June 2019 - 14:57

In fact, 0.8g/litre is the limit for England, Wales and Northern Ireland only.

The level in Scotland was reduced to 0.5g in December 2014, the same as in most other European countries.
