Stevenson Backs Parliamentary Action Concerning Drink-Driving Limit

Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has backed his colleague Stewart Maxwell MSP’s Parliamentary Motion on the issue of the drink-driving limit.

Commenting on the issue, Mr Stevenson said:

“It is very worrying and disappointing that an average of one in six deaths on Scottish roads is caused by drink-driving and that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of under-21s convicted of drink-driving.  An increase of 38% between 1996 and 2002..

“I have to say that I am deeply concerned by the fact that the current drink-driving limit of 80mg per 100ml of blood is amongst the highest in Western Europe and that the average drink-driving limit in Europe is 40 to 50mg.  I am therefore very supportive of any measures that will lead to a reduction in the number of people who choose to drink and drive and I include increased enforcement and greater education and awareness campaigns as the measures I offer my support to.

“The Scottish Executive should lend its backing to calls for a change in the law on this issue.
