These Regulations relate to the limits on the proportion of alcohol present in the breath, blood and urine set by the Road Traffic Act 1988. Regulation 2 prescribes new, lower limits for the purpose of the definition of “the prescribed limit” in section 11(2) as it applies in relation to driving, attempting to drive, or being in charge of a vehicle in Scotland. Regulation 3 makes a consequential amendment to section 8(2) in relation to the circumstances in which a person can elect to have a specimen of breath replaced with a specimen of blood or urine.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
