State that the drink-drive limit differs across UK nations and why the exact number matters
Recognise that illegal drugs and impairing prescription or over-the-counter medicine can both make driving an offence
Explain why tiredness, illness, and eyesight are treated as fitness-to-drive issues, not minor details
