Drink-drive limit in Ireland to be cut to 50mg
Drink-drive limit in Ireland to be cut to 50mg
The drink-drive limit in Ireland will be cut by the end of 2009, ministers announced today.
The current limit of 80mg alcohol per 100ml blood will be cut to 50mg, with a lower limit of 20mg for learner drivers and people who drive for work.

Re: Drink-drive limit in Ireland to be cut to 50mg
Hmmm. Might be a good time to offload the Guiness shares.
Good idea to have a lower limit for learners and working drivers, though why not just make it 20 across the board? It is here and many other countries.

Re: Drink-drive limit in Ireland to be cut to 50mg
Why not just impose an outright ban? Solve all the problems.

Re: Drink-drive limit in Ireland to be cut to 50mg
I agree totally with Mogwyth why have a drink drive limit? Why not get ban it compleatly, if your going to drive then dont drink simple.

Re: Drink-drive limit in Ireland to be cut to 50mg
Ban it completely and that will put just about every country pub out of business, a sensible limit that allows for a drink is a more reasoned approach in my opinion.
