BDifficulty 2/5

For an adult, non-novice driver of a privately used car, with no reduced-limit case, above what blood-alcohol level is driving generally prohibited?

Correct answer

0.5 grams per litre of blood.

Above 0.5 g/l of blood, alongside the general exhaled-air limit of 0.25 mg/l in Article 20. Lower limits apply to novices and certain services, and minors must maintain a zero level. Being within the legal limit does not guarantee safe driving: the safest choice is not to drink alcohol when driving.
