Road Safety Strategy
The Government issued consultations on Proposed Changes to Penalties for Motoring Offences, on Improving Moped and Motorcycle Training, Testing and Licensing, on Introducing a Minimum Learning Period for Learner Drivers and on a Road Safety Strategy.
The blood-alcohol limit is proposed to be reduced from 80mg per 100ml to 50mg (20mg for new drivers) as in Scotland. This is said to be equal to roughly a small glass of beer or of wine.
Views are sought up to the end of 31st March 2026.
