Pressure is building for the Government to lower the drink-drive limit, with the public release of Transport Ministry advice saying the current limit is "grossly out of line" with public attitudes.
The advice - obtained by the Drug Foundation under the Official Information Act - comes as the Government is agonising over whether to reduce the 80 milligram blood-alcohol limit for adults to 50 milligrams, or whether more research is needed.
Drug Foundation executive director Ross Bell says the latest set of Transport Ministry documents shows the Cabinet has no good reason to retain the existing adult limit. . . . . .
