Drink Driving (UK)

Drink driving in the UK refers to operating a vehicle while having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the legal limit, which is generally 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. Consuming alcohol impairs your ability to drive safely, affecting judgment, coordination, and reaction times. Laws strictly prohibit driving under the influence to protect all road users. Penalties for drink driving can include fines, driving bans, and imprisonment. It's important to know your limits and avoid driving if you've consumed alcohol, as the risks to safety and the law are significant.
