Drivers in Victoria that blow over .10 will face some huge new consequences, including having their cars confiscated, paying a hefty fine and losing their licence for 10 months.

Victorians caught driving while drunk and on illicit drugs will face fines of up to $41,000 and lose their licences.

The harsh new measures come into effect as of next month and provide even more of a reason why we need to drink responsibly and not drink drive.

If drinking, arrange a designated driver or take a taxi or public transport. Find out more here.
