Stay Safe This Silly Season

The days are finally getting longer again, and we're out and about socialising more too. It's important to have fun in life but remember to consider whether you have to go to work soon after socialising or not. Make sure you have plenty of time to rest after partying before you have to head to work.

What are the alcohol limits for drivers?

• For drivers under 20 years, the limit is zero

• For drivers 20 years and up, the limit is 250mg

• The blood alcohol is 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood (0.05)

What happens if you fail an evidential breath test?

If you fail an evidential breath test between 251 and 400 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath, you'll receive an infringement notice with a $200 infringement fee and 50 demerit points. It's also important to note, you can still be over the limit the following day depending on how much you had to drink.

Tips for staying safe at work this festive period
