NEW DRINK DRIVING LAWS IN FORCE

Anyone caught drink driving from midnight tonight Thursday will receive an automatic driving disqualification.

Up until now, drivers caught with a blood alcohol concentration of between 50 and 80mg were punished with a fine and penalty points.

The new provisions mean those drivers would be disqualified from driving for three months.

Transport Minister Shane Ross says today is an important day for all drivers
