It is an offence to drive, or attempt to drive, a motor vehicle where there is more than 35ug of alcohol in a sample of breath, or more than 80ug in a sample of blood.

Other than in wholly exceptional circumstances, this offence carries obligatory disqualification for a minimum period of 12 months.

The reality is that the Courts will disqualify for a period linked to the amount by which the legal limit is exceeded.

For example, a person whose breath alcohol level is twice the legal limit (70ug) can expect to be disqualified for a period of 19 months.
