Local police remember that the maximum rates allowed are alcohol 0.25 g / l in general driving and 0.15 g / l in the case of professional and novice drivers.
Article 65 of the Act is classified as very serious offense driving having consumed alcohol at higher rates than those established and, in any case, driving under the influence of drugs, psychotropic substances and other substances of similar bills, and as violating the requirement that all drivers have, to undergo alcohol testing.
