History

Historical Context

The Drink-Driving Act of 1988 established strict penalties for driving under the influence in the UK, setting the legal alcohol limit at 35 micrograms per 100 milliliters of breath. This legislation emerged from rising road safety concerns, as evidenced by 380 alcohol-related deaths in the UK in 2010. Christopher Parry's case, with a breath alcohol level of 99 micrograms, underscores ongoing enforcement challenges.
