Tough New Law Now In Effect

Tough new impaired driving laws take effect Friday.
There’s now a three-day licence suspension for drivers caught
with a blood alcohol level between 0.05 to 0.08.
Drivers caught for a second time with a blood-alcohol level in
the so-called “warn range” now face a one-week suspension.
They’ll also have to attend an alcohol education program.
If caught a third time, they’ll lose their licence for a month
and be required to have an ignition interlock condition placed on
their licence for six months.
The roadside licence suspensions cannot be appealed.
