  • 27 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of urine.
multiplied by 3.5 times = 31.5; 70 and 94.5 so he was still legal to drive a car where the road traffic act limit is:
  • 35 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath;
  • 80 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood;
  • 107 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of urine.
I can't think of anything more terrifying than being in control of a plane with alcohol and or drugs in my system.
