Lower Drink Drive Limit in Northern Ireland

The Department of the Environment in Northern Ireland is currently consulting over a lower limit for drink driving in Northern Ireland. The new limit would be set at 50mg for drivers and at 20mg for novice, learner and professional drivers. There would also be new powers for the police to establish roadside testing of drivers without the need for suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol. The consultation opened on July 9 and can be found via the link.
