Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
General Scheme of Road Traffic Bill 2015: Discussion (Resumed)
12:00 pm
Mr. Con O'Donohue:
On the issue raised about drink-driving levels, when someone moves from their HGV to their private car, the limit increases from 20 to 50 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. If someone is a HGV driver or a bus driver they do not stay at the lower level. While they are driving those vehicles they are dealt with as a specified driver at the lower level. It is an issue the Deputy raised.
