The **maximum permitted blood alcohol level** for an adult driver with a driving license of less than two years is **0.15 mg/l in exhaled air or 0.3 g/l in blood**. This is because novice drivers, those who have obtained their driving license less than two years ago, have stricter restrictions regarding alcohol consumption.

- **Blood alcohol concentration** refers to the amount of alcohol present in the blood and can be measured in grams per liter of blood or in milligrams per liter of exhaled air.
- For novice drivers, the permitted level is lower than for more experienced drivers. This is to ensure greater road safety, as drivers with less experience may be more susceptible to the effects of alcohol.

- In comparison, for other more experienced drivers, the permitted level is 0.25 mg/l in exhaled air or 0.5 g/l in blood.
- It is important to remember that, although these are the legal limits, the only completely safe blood alcohol level for driving is **0.0**, meaning not consuming alcohol before driving.
