These are the zero-tolerance countries

It's mid-July and that means vacation time for many people. Get out and let things go. If you are going on holiday by car this year, know that in some countries you have to pay extra attention to your alcohol consumption. The number of units of alcohol that you can drink as a driver is often a lot lower than with us. A number of countries even have a zero-tolerance policy.

We start close to home. In our own country, Belgium, France and Germany you can still get behind the wheel with 0.5 promille. In contrast to this 0.5, in many European countries the amount of alcohol in your blood may not exceed 0.3 promille.

In addition, there are also a number of countries that have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to alcohol and driving. Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic and Slovakia are examples of countries where you are not allowed to drink a drop of alcohol before you get behind the wheel. Good to know! Source: hln.be.
