New, lower, drink drive limits come into force tomorrow. Make sure you&#8217;re aware of the changes. But, as ever, the best way to be sure you&#8217;re under the limit, and to stay safe, is to simply never drink before driving.

Motorcyclists can often be vulnerable road users. According to the Road Safety Authority’s National Motorcycle Plan 2010 &#8211; 2014 they accounted for one in ten of all road fatalities in 2009.
