Local Police in Pilar de la Horadada have intercepted two drivers in the last forty eight hours for significant violations of the alcohol limit. The first incident involved a woman who recorded an alcohol level of zero point ninety seven milligrams per litre, well above the permissible limit. The second driver, a man, was found to have a dangerously high level of one point sixty four milligrams per litre, which is nearly seven times the legal threshold.

In Spain, the legal limit for alcohol in the breath for general drivers is zero point twenty five milligrams per litre. Exceeding this limit can result in severe penalties, including administrative sanctions. Should a driver reach an alcohol level of zero point sixty milligrams per litre or higher, they could face criminal charges, which may lead to imprisonment for up to six months, hefty fines, community service requirements, and a driving ban lasting between one and four years.

These incidents highlight the continued need for awareness around responsible driving and the dangers of alcohol consumption behind the wheel. Local authorities urge drivers to respect the law and make safe choices to avoid accidents and maintain road safety.

The police will continue their efforts to monitor and enforce alcohol limits, contributing to the overall safety of the roads in the region.
