What is the maximum allowed blood alcohol content (BAC)? 0.0 Alcohol is legal in Jebslund, but driving with alcohol in one's system is illegal.
Is it different for new drivers? No.
Is it different for professional drivers? Professional drivers may have their sentence suspended if they are able to pass a field sobriety testy, but only if they have not had an offense in the last 6 (SIX) months, or more than 3 (THREE) in the last 12 (TWELVE) months. Other suspended sentences due to this law are not considered "offenses", however, other tickets, as well as instances of failed FNT's, are considered "offenses".
Is it different for foreign drivers? Yes. Foreign professional drivers do not get to suspend their sentences unless they have driving records in Jebslund.
What is the penalty for drinking and driving? Personal alcohol ban for one year per prior instance of impaired driving plus one month per point of BAL (a driver with a first time offense and a BAL of 0.01, for instance, would be barred from drinking for 1 month. One with 3 priors and a 0.08 would be banned for 3 years, 8 months.). This is in addition to penalties for reckless endangerment, vandalism (in the case of an at-fault accident causing vehicle or property damage), assault (at-fault accidents causing injuries), and/or manslaughter (at-fault accidents resulting in fatalities).
When can police check for alcohol? Any time they have reasonable cause to suspect that a person is driving under the influence, to include any time alcohol is smelled during any other stop.
Can police check for drugs other than alcohol? Yes, but only the driver (most drugs are legal in Jebslund)

What is the maximum allowed blood alcohol content (BAC)? We do not have a single BAC level. In prosecuting DUI, prosecutors must prove that a person was too intoxicated to drive-- some people have higher tolerance and can drive at a higher BAC, so the police must observe a high BAC AND bad driving to bring charges.
Is it different for new drivers? Not legally, but the King asks that new drivers not drink at all or use any drugs (except medicinal) before driving.
Is it different for professional drivers? No
Is it different for foreign drivers? No
What is the penalty for drinking and driving? Usually community service plus alcohol (or drug) counselling. If damage is caused, harsher penalties can be imposed. Also, if someone does not sober up after being arrested, they can be held overnight for their safety.
When can police check for alcohol? Only if they observe dangerous driving and a likely intoxicated person.
Can police check for drugs other than alcohol? Yes, but same as above-- only if they observe someone driving poorly and looking high.

What is the penalty for drinking and driving?

If the driver hasn't caused a collusion of any sort on the road, they are imprisoned for 2 weeks. If the driver has injured someone, they will be imprisoned for a half year. If the driver has injured multiple people, they will be sentenced to 5 years. If the driver's foolish behavior results in someone's death, they will be sentenced to 20 years (trying to be reasonable here). If the driver's foolish behavior results in 2-3 deaths, they will either face a life sentence or the death penalty (either by hanging or by a bullet).
