Public information campaign for new reduced drink drive limits launched
Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport Leo Varadkar has joined the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and An Garda Síochána, today Wednesday 26th October, 2011, to launch a new campaign to raise awareness of the new reduced drink drive limits, which come into effect over the 2011 October Bank Holiday Weekend.
The drink drive limit, which is coming down in line with European levels, will see the current limit drop from 80 milligrams (mg) to 50 milligrams (mg) for all drivers and from 80 milligrams (mg) to 20 milligrams (mg) for learner, newly qualified drivers (for a period of two years after passing the driving test) and professional drivers such as bus, goods vehicle and public service vehicle drivers (PSV).
