Drink-Driving
Road Safety GB’s advice to motorists is – If you drive, don’t drink and if you drink, don’t drive. Road Safety GB supports lowering the blood alcohol limit. As a first step, Road Safety GB wants the government to bring the limit down from 80mg in 100ml of blood to 50mg. This limit would then be in line with most European Union member states.
Road Safety GB also supports routine breath testing at the scene of all road crashes.
Drug Driving
Road Safety GB calls on the Government to carry out research into the extent of drug driving whether by illegal substances or prescribed medicines. More needs to be done to educate drivers of the dangers in taking anything which undermines their judgement, or ability to react behind the wheel.
