Alcohol limits

An ordinary driver must have a blood alcohol concentration below 0.05 g per 100 ml; a professional driver must stay below 0.02 g per 100 ml. Alcohol impairs judgement and reactions.

Penalties

Driving over the limit can lead to arrest, fines, imprisonment and loss of your licence.

Distraction

You may not drive while holding a cellphone; it is an offence and a major cause of crashes.
