The police are authorized to stop motorists and ask them to take a breath test if they have reason to believe that the driver is over the limit.
The maximum penalty for driving over the limit is a prison sentence of six months plus a £ 5,000 fine. In addition, the driver will be banned from driving for a minimum period of 12 months or a minimum of three years, if there has been a prior conviction for drink driving in the last 10 years.
