25% of motorists have said there were times they may have been over the drink driving limit when driving the morning after a night out, according to new data.

Carried out in December 2020, the Driver Attitudes and Behaviour Survey also found that 9% of motorists admitted to consuming alcohol before driving in the past 12 months, with the figure higher amongst men than women .CEO of the RSA Sam Waide has said he is concerned about the numbers driving the morning after a night of drinking.

While Waide said there is"no hard and fast rule" about when it is safe to drive the morning after a night of drinking, motorists should allow at least one hour per standard drink for the alcohol to clear their system. Gardaí have said they will be keeping people safe on the roads and will be visible across the country over the Bank Holiday weekend.
