“Must have been some special wine if only two glasses caused her to blow a .2”

I think it equates to 0.02% BAC, otherwise the British limit of .8 would be a bit too loose.

While I’m no fan of Sweden’s new conquerors, 0.02 is an INSANELY low limit and Swedes (whatever is left of them) should be ashamed of themselves.

In order of the nations with the most generous limit down to the four countries that ban any blood alcohol whatsoever, that’s:
0.8 g/l: Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta and the United Kingdom
0.5 g/l: European Union countries not otherwise mentioned — and also the Australian limit.
0.49 g/l: Latvia
0.4 g/l: Lithuania
0.22 g/l: Cyprus
0.2 g/l: Sweden, Poland, Estonia, Finland
0 g/l: Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia

While I’m no fan of Sweden’s new conquerors, 0.02 is an INSANELY low limit and Swedes (whatever is left of them) should be ashamed of themselves.

Then again Sweden has one of the lowest driving death rates in Europe: 3 per 100K drivers, versus 11.4 for the US.

Perhaps their low tolerance for drunk driving has something to do with that? In Sweden 0.02% (up to 6 months imprisonment), 0.10% (imprisonment, maximum 2 years)
