昆士兰州驾驶员的最高法律的血液酒精含量（BAL）为0.08%，被0.05%的BAL取代。由于酒精特别可能是夜间事故的一个因素，评价的重点是夜间事故与白天事故相比减少的程度。立法变更后的第一年，夜间住院率显著降低8.2%，财产损失事故减少5.5%，其中大部分（如果不是全部）可归因于较低的BAL。评估表明，0.05%的BAL在运行的第一年之后具有减少事故的有效性，尽管第二年和第三年的一些事故减少可能部分是由于加强了执法。
A 0.08% maximum legal blood alcohol level (BAL) for drivers in Queensland was replaced by a 0.05% BAL. As alcohol is especially likely to be a factor in night-time accidents, the evaluation focused on the extent to which night-time accidents decreased in comparison to daytime accidents. It appeared that most, if not all, of the significant 8.2% reduction in night-time hospitalization and 5.5% reduction in property damage accidents in the first year after the legislative change could be attributed to the lower BAL. The evaluation showed that the 0.05% BAL had an accident-reducing effectiveness beyond its first year of operation, although some of the accident reductions in the second and third years may have been partly the result of increased enforcement.
