Should the drink drive limit be zero?
The first 200 words of this essay...
Introduction
In my report, I will be talking to you about the drink drive limit. I will then come to a conclusion based on my evidences and statistics.
What is the legal drink drive limit?
The legal alcohol limit for drivers in GB is:
* 80 milligrams (mg) of alcohol per 100 millilitres (ml) of blood (80mg/100ml), or
* 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath, or
* 107mg of alcohol per 100ml of urine
The limit has remained unchanged since its introduction by the Road Safety Act 19671.
This source is reliable because the information is from the THINK! - Road Safety website which is not biased. The web page does not have a date of when the information was published so I am unsure of its validity.
Breathalysers - Against
Breathalysers are devices for estimating blood alcohol content (BAC) from a breath sample. Even though this new technology device is useful, it brings with it both advantages and disadvantages.
The sensors are very specific and highly sensitive to alcohol. However, even without drinking, some alcohol can be present

Response to the question
Overall a good piece. The essay considers different topics which relate to the question and the candidate reaches a valid and thought out conclusion based on the evidence analysed. The candidate has been seen to use a range of sources to reach an opinion, but should consult articles where the candidate is sure of the authenticity of the source.
Level of analysis
The introduction is good because it is short, succinct and to the point. To improve the candidate could outline the different things they are going to investigate regarding the drinking limit. The candidate should also more thoroughly analyse the sources they use. However this should not be included throughout the text as it interrupts the flow of the essay. The writer does include references in tidy footnotes which is good. The overall analysis is good but could consider many other factors to reach a more rounded conclusion.
Quality of writing
Spelling and punctuation seem fine although spaces are missed in some words due to the pdf file format. The grammar is not very good in parts and this detracts from the clarity of the sentence so the candidate should strive to convey sentences clearer.
