Drink Driving Offences
This service is available across Italy
Service Description
Useful Information
In Italy, drink-driving offences are regulated by the Italian Road Code (Codice della Strada), specifically in articles 186 and 186-bis. These laws set the limits for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and outline the penalties for violations:
- The general BAC limit is 0.5 grams per litre (g/l).
- For professional drivers, new drivers (those who have had their license for less than three years), and drivers under 21 years of age, the limit is lower, at 0.0 g/l.
- The penalties for drink-driving offences in Italy depend on the BAC level and can include fines, imprisonment, and suspension of the driver's licence.
They are typically divided into different categories based on the BAC level:
- BAC from 0.5 to 0.8 g/l: This can result in a fine and a suspension of the driver's licence for a specified period.
- BAC from 0.8 to 1.5 g/l: This level incurs more severe penalties, including higher fines, a longer suspension of the driver's licence, and the possibility of imprisonment.
- BAC above 1.5 g/l: At this level, the penalties are even more severe, including the highest fines, long-term suspension or revocation of the driver's licence, and imprisonment.
- Refusal to undergo a breathalyser test or a blood test is treated as a serious offence, with penalties similar to those for high BAC levels.
