To ask His Majesty's Government, with regard to the Road Safety Strategy, published on 7 January, whether they have plans for a comprehensive communications plan about reducing the drink driving limit as part of their plan to introduce a lower alcohol limit for driving.

Every life lost on our roads is a tragedy that devastates families and communities. For too long, progress on road safety has stalled while other countries have moved ahead.

The Road Safety Strategy, published on 7 January 2026 by this Government, marks a turning point. We are taking decisive action to make our roads safer for everyone, from new drivers taking their first lessons to older motorists wanting to maintain their independence.

As part of this, the Government is consulting on lowering the drink drive limit in England and Wales, which has remained unchanged since 1967 and is currently the highest in Europe.

Any changes to the legal alcohol limit for drink and drive offences in England and Wales will be communicated across government communications channels, to raise awareness and encourage compliance. We will also continue to deliver through the THINK! Campaign, partnership campaigns with 0% alcohol brands, and wider partners, to remind drivers to not drink alcohol when getting behind the wheel.
