Which of the following concentration of alcohol in blood is a value forbidding one to drive a motor vehicle with a curb weight of 500 kg?

Description

Art. 46 para. 1 of the Act on Upbringing in Sobriety and Counteracting Alcoholism (Journal of Laws of 2002, No. 147, item 1231, as amended) Art. 45 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137)

Explanation

Correct answer: 0.2 ‰.

Under Polish law, driving a vehicle is prohibited from a blood alcohol concentration of 0.2 per mille. Art. 46 of the Act on Upbringing in Sobriety distinguishes between two states: the 'state after alcohol consumption' (from 0.2‰ to 0.5‰), which is an offence, and the 'state of intoxication' (above 0.5‰), which is a crime. Even the lowest of these thresholds excludes the possibility of legally driving a vehicle.
