What is a dangerous blood alcohol level?
National and international studies have shown that vehicle collisions, injuries, and fatalities increase when blood alcohol is above 0.05% (50 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood). At .05%, drivers experience reduced coordination, reduced tracking of moving objects, and slower responses to emergency situations as well as difficulties steering.
