IN DECEMBER 2014 Scotland’s drink-drive limit was lowered. Two years on, official figures reveal that more people are committing drink-drive offences, the Scottish pub trade has been decimated, and dozens of jobs have been lost.
Nobody condones drink-driving. However, the lowering of the legal alcohol limit for motorists in Scotland from 80mg to 50mg in every 100ml of blood appears to have only hit home with the responsible people who would not have driven while over those limits anyway.
