Does Iceland have a drinking and driving law?

Several websites say that Iceland has a .05 blood alcohol limit with respect to its drinking and driving laws, while elsewhere on this forum I get the impression that there is a zero tolerance policy in effect. Has the law in this regard been changed recently? Thanks in advance. 1. Re: Iceland drinking and driving laws
