What does this rule or driving tip mean? Alcohol reduces perception, reaction speed and judgment. That is why novice drivers are subject to a stricter limit than experienced drivers.

How to apply this safely
Agree in advance who the designated driver is.
Take into account that alcohol may still be in your system the next morning.
Never combine alcohol with drugs or medicines that affect your driving ability.

Driving lesson and test tip
Getting a driving licence also means making safe choices in advance. Arrange transport before the first drink is poured.

Remember: Novice driver: maximum 0.2 per mille, but when driving, choose 0.0.
