Anybody driving over the alcohol limit or under the influence of drugs should be banned immediately.......absolutely no question..
As of yesterday, there
IS no 'alcohol limit'
The new policy is ZERO alcohol limit, not a drop or immediate loss of licence, presumably for life, and $560 fine, lock the car, walk home
Before yesterday, the alcohol limit was (according to the linked news item) 0.08. That was considered 'safe'.
From yesterday (Monday) 0.08 is not safe
So until yesterday, if you blew 0.07, you were fine
after yesterday, 0.000001 would result in immediate loss of licence and $560 fine, lock your car, walk away, you're done, licence gone
I don't believe you would lose it for life on a low reading.
Most who go over the limit don't get to drive their car home since limits came in.
The limit in QLD has been under 0.05 for years now.... can't remember how long ago it was under 0.08 just know it's long gone.
Most safety critical workplaces and occupations it's zero and has been for a while as well.
And as I mentioned P players are zero.
