Commenting on the news that 96 people have been caught in the first week of a crack down on drink drivers across Scotland, Liberal Democrat Transport spokesperson Alison McInnes MSP said: “Accidents and deaths caused by those under the influence of drink and drugs are still far too high and any effort made to reduce this number is welcome.

“But Liberal Democrats will continue to press the Scottish Government for a reduction in the legal drink drive limit from 80mg to 50mg.”
