The Government is reportedly planning to introduce a new drink-driving limit that will effectively ban motorists from getting behind the wheel after just one drink.

Reports this morning say the limit will be cut from 80mg to 50mg in the new year.

The measure is reportedly included in a new road safety strategy due to be launched by the Taoiseach on Thursday.

This morning's reports say the new limit will mean a motorist could be put off the road for driving after just one pint of beer or glass of wine.
