Reduce the alcohol limit to be Zero whilst driving.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Too many people can not judge whether they are able to drive based on their current level of alcohol. Make it zero, make it clear. Do not drink and drive. Way too many lives are lost throughout the year, but it always seems to be the innocent parties who lose their lives, especially Christmas.

Why it was rejected

Change the law on drink driving to no drink at all while in charge of a vehicle
