What Is the Legal Blood Alcohol Limit for Driving in Slovakia?

Slovakia has a strict zero-tolerance policy on drinking and driving — the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.0%. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in your system can result in fines and more serious consequences.

What penalties apply? Fines start from €200 and up. In serious cases, penalties may include license suspension or imprisonment. If a road accident occurs while driving under the influence, criminal liability is possible.

Even a single glass of beer or wine is considered a violation. Cyclists on public roads are also required to comply with the zero-alcohol limit. If you plan to drink, make sure to arrange a safe way home in advance — use a taxi, public transport, or a designated driver service.
