BDifficulty 2/5

An adult drives a private passenger car and is not subject to the reduced novice limit or another special regime. Under article 20, what is the general maximum blood alcohol level?

Correct answer

0.5 grams per litre of blood.

0.5 grams per litre of blood; the general breath limit is 0.25 milligrams per litre. Do not confuse blood measurements in grams with breath measurements in milligrams. Novices and specified services have reduced limits and under-18s a zero limit. No figure authorises impaired driving; the safest choice is not to drink.
