Lowering Alcoholic Blood Level Aims At Reducing Road Deaths: Study
Lowering Alcoholic Blood Level Aims At Reducing Road Deaths: Study

New research is of the suggestion that bringing cuts in the drink-drive limit for motorists will help in preventing road deaths and injuries.

A recent report by Britain's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence depicts that someone's capability of driving is affected, if they have any alcohol at all in their blood.

Drivers with a blood alcohol concentration between 0.02 and 0.05, which is equal to approximately one to two standard drinks, have no less than a three times superior risk of dying in a vehicle collision.

This risk boosts to at least six times more for a driver with a BAC between 0.05 and 0.08.

Both New Zealand and Britain at present have some of the uppermost legal adult BAC levels in the world at 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood, 0.08.

The New Zealand Government has yet not made any decision regarding, whether to lower the Blood Alcohol Concentration for adult drivers from the existing 0.08 to 0.05, but Alcohol Healthwatch Director, Rebecca Williams says that there is now no excuse of not lowering the adult limit to 0.05.

Lessening the BAC to 0.05 is one of the most victorious and gainful ways to decrease New Zealand's road rage.
