Blood
alcohol limits
NSW has three blood alcohol limits:
zero, 0.02 and 0.05. These numbers refer to a person's
blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
Your BAC is a measure of the amount of alcohol you
have in your blood. The measurement is the number
of grams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.
For example, a BAC of 0.05 means 0.05 grams or 50
milligrams of alcohol in every 100 millilitres of
blood.
The limit which applies to you is dependent on the
category of your licence and the type of vehicle you
are driving
Zero
applies to:
ALL learner drivers.
ALL Provisional 1 drivers.
ALL Provisional 2 drivers.
>more information about zero
0.02 applies to:

are involved in about 18% of motor vehicle driver
deaths. These other drugs are generally used in combination
with alcohol (NHTSA 2003).
•0.05
applies to:
ALL other licences not subject to
a 0.02 or zero limit.
