Jersey plans to lower drink drive limit in 2018 bringing it in line with Scotland

Jersey plans to lower the drink drive limit in 2018 in plans introduced by the Infrastructure Minister.

Deputy Eddie Noel has proposed a lower drink drive limit that would bring Jersey into line with Scotland on 0.05%BAC. Jersey currently has the same limit of 0.08%BAC as England, Wales and Northern Ireland (although Northern Ireland will also be reducing it next year).

The proposal was published in the Jersey Road Safety Plan 2017-2019 and Deputy Noel said he wants to reduce the limit by 2018.
