BDifficulty 2/5

An adult driver obtained the first licence authorising the vehicle being driven less than two years ago. What maximum breath alcohol level applies?

Correct answer

0.15 milligrams per litre.

0.15 milligrams per litre under article 20. The reduced limit applies during the two years after obtaining the licence authorising that vehicle; it differs from the one-year L-sign period. The age of a driving licence only counts for vehicles that licence authorises. Drivers under 18 have a zero alcohol limit. Being below the legal maximum does not mean alcohol has no effect on driving: the safest choice is not to consume it.
