Questions Learners Have About Alcohol Limits

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Alcohol Limits, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the legal alcohol limit for experienced drivers in the Netherlands?

For experienced drivers with a full license in the Netherlands, the maximum legal blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.5 per mille (or 220 µg/L in breath).

How does the alcohol limit differ for novice drivers?

Novice drivers in the Netherlands face a stricter alcohol limit of 0.2 per mille BAC (or 88 µg/L in breath). This limit applies during the initial years of holding a Dutch driving license.

What are the consequences of exceeding the legal alcohol limit in the Netherlands?

Exceeding the legal alcohol limit can lead to severe penalties, including fines, a driving ban, and even confiscation of your driving license, especially if your BAC is significantly over the limit. You may also be reported to the CBR for educational measures.

Is there a zero-tolerance policy for alcohol in Dutch traffic?

A zero-tolerance policy (meaning the limit is effectively zero) applies specifically when driving under the combined influence of both alcohol and drugs, regardless of the individual levels. For novice drivers, the 0.2 per mille limit is very strict, often considered near zero-tolerance in practice.

What is considered a 'standard glass' when talking about alcohol limits?

In the Netherlands, a standard glass refers to a serving size that contains approximately the same amount of pure alcohol across different beverages, such as 25cl of beer, 10cl of wine, or 3.5cl of spirits. Each standard glass typically contains around 10-12 grams of pure alcohol.
