Doctors call for English drink-drive limit to be cut to equivalent of a small drink

BMA to lobby next government to change limit, which is one of the highest in Europe

Doctors have called for England's drink-driving limit to be reduced to the equivalent of a small glass of wine or beer, in a proposal supported by a number of medical and road safety organisations.

England's legal limit for getting safely behind the wheel is one of the highest in Europe at 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood, a law established in 1967.
