Alcohol
Learner and probationary drivers must
not drive with any alcohol in their blood.
Zero Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC)
also applies to all restricted motorcycle
licence holders, drivers of taxis, buses
and other large vehicles, professional
driving instructors and some full licence
holders who have previously had a drink
driving conviction.
All other full licence holders (including
supervising drivers) must have a BAC
of less than .05.
In nearly 30% of Victorian driver
fatalities, the driver had a BAC of
.05 or more.
Definition
Blood Alcohol Concentration
(BAC) is a measure of the amount
of alcohol you have in your blood.
It is measured by the number of
grams of alcohol in 100 millilitres
of blood.
For example, a BAC of .05 means
.05 grams or 50 milligrams of
alcohol in every 100 millilitres
of blood.
It is also illegal to drink alcohol while
driving a motor vehicle or supervising
a learner driver.
