One in five have travelled with drunk driver in past two years, says survey

One in five of respondents in an AA Motor Insurance Poll carried out this month admitted that they have knowingly taken a lift from a driver they understood to be over the legal blood alcohol level (0.8mg) within the last two years.

The limit is set to drop to 0.2mg for both learners and professional drivers and to 0.5mg for remaining motorists within the next couple of months.
