BDifficulty 2/5

An adult driver who has held the licence for over two years drives a lorry below 3,500 kg MAM for ordinary goods transport. It is not a public-service, emergency, special-transport or dangerous-goods operation. What general maximum breath alcohol concentration applies?

Correct answer

0.25 milligrams per litre.

The general limit in article 20 is 0.25 mg per litre of breath in the stated case. The reduced 0.15 mg/l limit applies, among other cases, during the first two licence years and to the transport operations specified in that article. Do not confuse breath, expressed in mg/l, with blood, expressed in g/l. Alcohol may impair driving below the limit: the recommendation is not to drink if driving.
