Police Scotland Day 218, Year 2 - Drink Driving

Police ‘no safe limit’ warning to drivers ahead of proposed changes to drink drive limits

Senior officers warn an extra 35 drivers a week across Scotland could lose their licence over the festive period, following the proposed introduction of new drink drive limits next month.

The warning comes ahead of proposed changes to the levels of alcohol permitted with changes due to take effect from December 5th. Later this month, a public information campaign will be launched ahead of the changes which will also be followed by Police Scotland’s festive drink drive campaign.
