Victoria’s state government and opposition have both rejected calls for the legal blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers to be lowered to 0.02.
The current limit is 0.05, as it is in every other Australian state and territory, but Monash University’s Accident Research Centre (MUAC) believes it has evidence that a 0.02 limit could reduce the road toll.
Victoria Police have backed MUAC’s views, calling for public debate on a lower BAC limit and even supporting a BAC limit of zero.
