The Automobile Association says government's plan to lower the blood-alcohol level to 0 for motorists, won't necessarily yield the desired results.

AA's Layton Beard says, "In fact studies around the world have proven that reducing the alcohol limit doesn't necessarily lead to a reduction in fatal crashes. Another concern of ours is that we have very good legislation currently enforced in terms of alcohol usage and drunk driving."
During a media briefing on the country's festive season road statistics, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula said last week that the new limit along with a demerit system will be introduced this year.
