Scotland - Drink drive limit to be reduced before Christmas

Previously we have reported on the Scottish Government's intention to reduce the drink drive limit and it has now been reported that the proposed reduction may be in introduced on 5 December 2014.

The legal limit in Scotland is currently 80mg of alcohol for every 100ml of blood (the same as England) whereas the new limit will be 50mg of alcohol for every 100ml of blood.

Scotland will then be in line with Germany, France and Spain. A similar proposal to reduce the limit is being considered in Northern Ireland.
