BDifficulty 2/5

An adult driver obtained their first licence authorising the vehicle less than two years ago. What is their maximum permitted alcohol level?

Correct answer

0.15 mg/l in exhaled air or 0.3 g/l in blood.

0.15 mg/l in breath or 0.3 g/l in blood during the two years after obtaining the licence authorising driving, under Article 20. Time holding a licence counts only for vehicles for which that licence is sufficient. Being a novice does not establish different biological susceptibility. Effects can occur even below the limit: the safe recommendation is not to drink before driving.
