The Institute of Advanced Motorists has criticised Scottish government plans to lower the drink-drive limit.
Spokesman George Goldie said: "I don't think it's going to have an impact on road safety because in the vast majority of accidents where someone is killed or injured involving alcohol, the driver is way way over the limit, not just fractionally over the limit.
"I think this will have a much bigger impact on the people who are trying to be law-abiding and who perhaps have a drink in the evening and are caught the following morning."


It will have an impact on restaurants and bars too. No more "just one pint".

I have to say though, you might think one pint doesn't affect your driving...but try cycling after one pint, you can definitely notice it.

Could alienate and criminalise many ordinary citizens over one drink.
