The levels are reducing downwards. When people are on holidays in a different country, they might be confused about the drink driving limit. That is a problem if they are caught. Tomorrow, the 21 September, is a day when it is hoped there will be no fatality on our roads across the European Union. I welcome that initiative. I welcome countries working together. I would like to think that perhaps we might set the standard in terms of pushing for a standard lowest possible limit across Europe. I know that each individual country makes up its own mind, but the evidence is very clear - one should not drink and drive.
