A reduced drink driving limit came into effect in Scotland in December 2014, at which point rule 95 of the Highway Code was amended to reflect the change. It is essential that all road users in England, Scotland and Wales are aware of the Code.

At the time of its introduction, the Scottish Government advertised the lower limit on both sides of the border.
