The Palaszczcuk government has passed tough new drink driving laws for Queensland.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said drink drivers will need to have an alcohol interlock in their vehicle until they can show a consistent record of clear breath tests over time.
“We know mid-range drink drivers account for more than a quarter of all drink driving offenders and have a crash risk 20 times greater than someone who hasn’t had a drink," Mr Bailey said.
“That’s why we’re proposing to expand the alcohol ignition interlock program to include drink drivers with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) between 0.10 and 0.149," he said.
