Decision Time
The next question is, that motion S4M-11567, in the name of Kenny MacAskill, on lowering the drink-drive limit, as amended, be agreed to.
Motion, as amended, agreed to,
That the Parliament supports the reduction of the drink drive limit, which will help to save lives and make Scotland’s roads safer; considers that the application and penalties imposed should be proportionate, bringing Scotland into line with most other European countries; encourages drivers not to consume any alcohol at all before driving, and considers that the accompanying education and media campaign should cover the morning after effects of alcohol.
