Spain's Congress of Deputies will process a proposal from the Socialist Party (PSOE) to significantly lower the maximum legal blood alcohol limit for drivers. The proposed legislation seeks to reduce the permitted threshold by more than half, moving it from 0.5 grams per liter of blood down to 0.2 grams per liter (or 0.1 milligrams per liter in exhaled air).
The legislative initiative moves forward in Madrid following the announcement reported on September 29. The measure aims to tighten regulations surrounding drinking and driving by imposing stricter limits across the board for motorists.
