Booze limit cut would be real lifesaver on the roads

Charles Pease, whose partner Theresa, 29, was killed in a horror crash in Mull in 2015, said the move could save lives.

It comes after Theresa's killer, Thomas Wainwright, this week allegedly went on the run while on parole.

He was jailed for 12 years after smashing his hired Maserati into the van of island vet Theresa.

He falsely blamed her until it emerged in court he had downed five ciders and two whiskies on an eight-hour binge before getting behind the wheel.

Road safety charity Brake has launched a campaign to slash the legal blood alcohol limit to 20mg per 100ml of blood meaning as little as half a pint could put a driver over the limit.
