Drink Driving Legislation

Drink driving legislation makes it illegal to operate a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeding the legal limit, which varies by country (often around 0.05% or lower). This law aims to prevent accidents caused by impaired driving. If caught, offenders face penalties such as fines, license suspension, or imprisonment. The legislation also includes roadside breath tests and blood tests to verify BAC levels. The primary goal is to ensure safety on the roads by discouraging alcohol consumption before driving and holding individuals accountable for impaired driving behaviors.
