Zero-alcohol driving law for South Africa is like setting a 30km/h highway speed limit and jailing people for it

• A proposed zero blood-alcohol limit on motorists in South Africa has been reconsidered by transport minister Barbara Creecy.
• The proposed change was previously dismissed in Parliament less than three years ago, with the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Transport deciding to leave the limit unchanged.
• Rob Handfield-Jones, managing director of Driving.co.za, has criticized the proposal, saying it would 'criminalize people who don't pose a safety hazard' and citing a lack of new evidence supporting the change.
