Watch out lads when in Scotland.

I'd have to agree with that.You could be under the limit in England but over in Scotland then you get banned from driving in England!

As I said, a really stupid law for the UK

We are a union, a united kingdom

Thanks for the info Al. The complicated bit is always how much you can have the night before and be under the limit in the morning. I guess next time I am up I'll be taking the breathalyser I carry in Europe.
Cheers Jak

'United' Kingdom doesn't seem quite so united at the moment.

But its no different from going around Europe, borderless and you can go seamlessly from one country with a Scotland type limit to one with a UK type limit to one that has zero alcohol allowance and there are quite a few.

There is a difference.Anywhere else in Europe you would only be penalised in the country you were caught.

I think the Scottish legal system has some common sense compared to the English system, except for the choice of a driver awareness course.

Every Friday night I say to the missus that someone must be mad to drive after a couple of pints when I'm sitting in the pub feeling slightly tipsy halfway through my second pint of Erdinger
