19 Dec 2018
From 3 December 2018, tougher penalties apply for a range of drink driving offences.
Every police car is a mobile RBT. More drink drivers than ever before will have an alcohol interlock installed in their vehicle. And repeat drink drivers will risk losing their vehicle on the spot.
Drink driving is a factor in about one in seven fatal crashes in NSW. Young males are over-represented in the crash statistics.
Plan ahead and use other ways to get home safely.
NSW has three blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limits: zero, under 0.02 and under 0.05. The limit depends on the category of your licence and the type of vehicle you are driving.
Your BAC measures the amount of alcohol you have in your system in grams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.
Zero BAC applies to all:
· Learner drivers or riders
· Provisional 1 drivers or riders
· Provisional 2 drivers or riders
· Visiting drivers or riders holding an overseas or interstate learner, provisional or equivalent licence
