About limits

This section introduces you to limits that you need to know about when driving: speed limits, alcohol limits and your own limits – how to avoid driver fatigue.

Speed limits

Remember, the faster you go, the more likely you are to be killed or seriously injured if you crash.

Alcohol and drugs limits

Alcohol and drugs, including some drugs given to you by a doctor, can seriously affect your driving.

Driver fatigue

This section should be looked at in conjunction with the sections about logbooks.
