The **maximum permitted blood alcohol level** for a **novice driver** is **0.15 milligrams per liter of exhaled air**. This is because drivers who have obtained their driving license less than two years ago have stricter restrictions regarding alcohol consumption.

- Blood alcohol content is measured in milligrams of alcohol per liter of exhaled air or in grams per liter of blood. For novice drivers, the permitted level is **0.15 milligrams per liter of air** and **0.3 grams per liter of blood**.
- In comparison, for other drivers, the permitted level is higher: **0.25 milligrams per liter of air** and **0.5 grams per liter of blood**.

It is important to remember that alcohol negatively affects the body, especially the brain and vision, and is a common cause of traffic accidents. Therefore, although the law allows certain blood alcohol levels, the only completely safe level for driving is **0.0**, meaning not consuming any alcohol at all before driving.
