Drink driving

The limit for most fully licensed drivers is 0.05 blood alcohol. For learner and provisional drivers it is zero.

• Police can breath-test drivers at random, without any reason to suspect you.
• Refusing a breath test is an offence in itself.
• Penalties rise with the reading and can include losing your licence.
• If you have been drinking, get a taxi or a rideshare, or stay where you are.

Rules for this one differ by state. Pick your state on the Local laws and customs page to see yours.
