Drink Driving Laws Abroad

Every country is different when it comes to drink driving laws and whilst there is no suggestion that those laws ought to be tested, it’s as well to know the basics from the start of driving abroad.

The UK has fairly stringent laws which have built up over the years. In America and Australia the laws are far more strictly imposed, although they differ from state to state. The fact is that in Victoria Australia a drunk driver will be identified, not by a driving habit, but by a police road block. There is little tolerance and not so many drivers are pulled over. If you drink and drive in Victoria the chances are that you will be caught. The same applies in the United States where California has clamped down significantly over the years.

In central Europe the situation varies and the French are even stricter than the UK although many have a bottle of wine for lunch and there seems that little is done stop that habit.

In the more far flung corners of the world, in places like Asia there is an almost disregard for drinking and driving. In Thailand over 350 people are killed during the 3-5 day Thai New Year festivities every April and much is down to drinking. It’s a horrific statistic which neither the government nor the police seem to be able to improve. The laws are there, they are just not imposed. Drunk motorcyclists are the main victims and despite there being a law about wearing crash helmets the numbers who don’t, out number those who do.

It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, drink driving laws should always be abided by and you should check to see just what the laws are. If you are staying in 5 star hotels in Killarney the staff there should be able to tell you exactly what the laws are so you don’t have in trouble with the authorities.

It doesn’t hurt to spend a few hours studying the different laws in the foreign country you plan to visit when you travel abroad to a luxury ski chalet. This may seem like a bit too much for some people but each year there are several arrests made at some of the most famous luxury ski chalets for drug related offenses.

No matter if you find yourself in Bangkok or London, drink driving laws all differ with differing degrees of punishment. Our advice is that if you are staying in a hotel Sukhumvit take a taxi to your party as being caught for drink driving in Bangkok as foreigner can be hard to deal with.

Being on holiday often means your alcohol consumption increases compared to when you are at home. With the increase in alcohol intake means there is more risk for being caught by the police drink driving and being banged up abroad is not a nice thing. One way to avoid this is to consider a camping holiday in Yorkshire. With hundreds of camping pods Yorkshire available all throughout the year, they will not disappoint.

The laws abroad about alcohol consumption while on the road are strictly practiced. You can`t drive when drunk and most especially can`t drink while driving. Some may think that once out of the road like touring in gorilla safari, drinking is fine but this is certainly prohibited by law. If by any chance you got involved with the case of illegal drinking visit the drink driving solicitor for advice.
