Just one drink can land you in prison while driving abroad
Sound scary isn’t it? If you?re driving to Stockholm?s Skavsta airport to catch the afternoon Ryanair flight to Birmingham, you should prepare yourself for being breathalysed. On the approach to the airport the police may pull you over and ask you to breathe into their electronic device.
You wouldn’t drink while you driving. Which is just as well because later research on the internet revealed that the permitted level of alcohol is a mere quarter of the UK permitted level. ?Having just one drink wouldn?t be worth the risk,? said one advisory website.
The penalties for drink driving, you may not be surprised to learn, are ?severe?: up to a year in prison and draconian fines are among the possible sanctions.
So check the authorities websites for the limitations for drinking before you drive. Otherwise holiday can turn into hell for you.
