Drink Drive Limits Under Scrutiny
This is a thorny topic and there is no absolute answer to it. A zero limit (0 mg) is, I believe unworkable, because after a night out how can you tell when your alcohol level has fallen to zero the next day? Studies have shown that dropping the level to 50 mg (from the current 80 mg) is beneficial in cutting the number of deaths and injuries! But...there is one thing that hasn't been allowed in Britain - Random Breath Testing (RBT)! OK, you could say that we have de facto RBT, but if it was fully implemented all year round, then the drink drive numbers would drop, as there's a much greater chance of getting caught!
