Drink Driving Offences

This service is available across Cyprus

Who would find this Service useful?

This service is for English-speaking expats in Cyprus who have been accused or charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
It is particularly designed for drivers who find themselves facing legal consequences due to alcohol levels in their bloodstream exceeding the legal limits.

Useful Information

In Cyprus, drink-driving offences are regulated under the Criminal Code (Cap. 154), which deems it illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other related substances.
The laws are strictly enforced, with specific blood alcohol content (BAC) limits set to ensure road safety and reduce the risk of accidents caused by impaired driving.
The legal BAC limit for drivers in Cyprus is set at 0.05% for general drivers, with a zero-tolerance policy (0.02% BAC limit) for novice and professional drivers. This approach aims to promote road safety and deter drink-driving.
Penalties for exceeding the legal BAC limit can include fines, licence suspension, and possible imprisonment.
In cases where an individual causes an accident while under the influence, the penalties can be more severe, including significant fines, lengthy licence suspension, and imprisonment.
Refusal to cooperate with police during a breathalyser test can lead to severe consequences, such as licence suspension and fines
