Scotland will reduce its drink-driving limit in time for Christmas.
The move is in a bid to save lives after new statistics showed that around 10% of road deaths involve drivers who are over the drink-drive limit.
The reduction from 80mg to 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood means that drivers could be breaking the law if they have drunk a small glass of wine or single pint of beer.
The new limit brings the country into line with Northern Ireland and most of Europe, while the limit in England and Wales remains at 80mg.
What do you think of this?
