Drink drive limit could be lowered

Mon, 18 Jan 2016

Proposals have been put forward to lower the drink drive limit on the Isle of Man.

The government is looking to reduce the maximum blood alcohol level from 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood to 50mg.

If the plans are approved it means the Island will follow the lead of Scotland and many European countries.

The idea is just one in the new Road Traffic Legislation Bill 2016 which has gone out for public consultation.
