Zero blood alcohol level for all novice road users
Source: Queensland. Premier . Media Release
"The State Government will adopt a zero alcohol tolerance policy for all L and P-plate drivers and novice motorcycle riders regardless of their age, Premier Anna Bligh announced.
Ms Bligh said Cabinet had approved draft new laws to be introduced in February which would extend the zero alcohol limit to all L and P-platers, not just those aged 25 and under.
The move will affect the 65,731 Queenslanders aged over 25 who hold a learner or provisional licence. “Currently people aged over 25 who have a learner, provisional or probationary licence can drive with a blood alcohol content below 0.05 per cent but the new laws will extend to all novice drivers regardless of their age,” Ms Bligh said."
