Correct answer
- CSí.Yes.
As a general rule, drivers of any vehicle, including bicycles, may not drive with alcohol levels above: in breath, 0.25 milligrams per litre of exhaled air; in blood, 0.5 grams per litre of blood. For novice drivers (during the first 2 years of holding the licence) and professional drivers, the maximum level allowed is 0.3 grams of alcohol per litre of blood or 0.15 milligrams per litre of exhaled air. The only completely safe level at the wheel is 0.0.
