Scotland has slashed its drink-drive limit, meaning drivers who have less than a pint could be breaking the law.

The Scottish Parliament unanimously approved the reduction from the UK-wide 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood to 50mg, in line with several European countries.

It means motorists crossing the border could be legal in England and arrested across the border.

Don't forget that the breath alcohol equivalent has also been reduced: from 35 micrograms (µg) of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath to 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.

None of this is breaking news though. The revised limits in Scotland were in place for last year's HD having been introduced on 5th December 2014.
