BDifficulty 2/5

An adult driver has held a licence for more than two years and drives a private-use car, with no special alcohol limit applying. What is the general maximum breath-alcohol level?

Correct answer

0.25 milligrams of alcohol per litre of breath

It is 0.25 milligrams per litre of breath under Article 20 of the General Traffic Regulations. Do not confuse this with the general blood-alcohol limit of 0.5 grams per litre. Novice drivers and certain transport operations have lower limits and are excluded here. Being below the limit does not guarantee safe driving: alcohol may impair driving before the limit is reached.
