Questions Learners Have About Impairment & Judgement

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Impairment & Judgement, including how questions match the official theory exam in Great Britain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What are the legal alcohol limits for driving in Great Britain?

In England and Wales, the breath alcohol limit is 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath, or 80 milligrammes per 100 millilitres of blood. In Scotland, the limits are lower: 22 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath, or 50 milligrammes per 100 millilitres of blood. It's safest not to drink any alcohol if you plan to drive.

Can I drive if I'm taking prescription medication?

You MUST NOT drive if your ability is impaired by medicine. Always check the label of any medicine, or consult your doctor or pharmacist, to see if it could affect your driving. Some medications can cause drowsiness or reduce concentration, making it unsafe to drive.

How can fatigue affect my driving?

Fatigue significantly reduces your ability to concentrate, slows reaction times, and can lead to microsleeps, where you briefly fall asleep without realising it. This makes driving extremely dangerous. It's crucial to ensure you are well-rested before driving, especially on long journeys.

What are the penalties for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol in Great Britain?

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol can lead to serious penalties, including a driving ban, a large fine, penalty points on your licence, and even imprisonment. The specific penalties depend on the severity of the offence and whether it's a first offence.

Is it illegal to drive with certain medicines in my blood?

Yes, you MUST NOT drive if you have certain medicines (including some illegal drugs) in your blood above specified limits. Even if they are prescribed, some medicines are specified due to their impairing effects. Always check with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
