Ontario Law

What are the current consequences of drinking and driving in Ontario?

Ontario leads the way in combating drinking & driving through some of the toughest laws and programs in North America. Ontario has toughened its impaired driving laws to drive home the message that drinking and driving is not acceptable under any circumstance.

As of May 1, 2009, if you are found to have a blood alcohol concentration from 0.05 to 0.08 while driving you will:

1) Have your driver's licence suspended for 3 days the first time you are caught.

2) Have your driver's license suspended for 7 days and have to attend an alcohol education program the second time you are caught.

3) Have your driver's license suspended for 30 days, complete a remedial alcohol treatment program and have an ignition interlock condition placed on your driver's licence for six months.

Previously, drivers only received a 12-hr driver's license suspension, no matter how many times they were caught. Don't take these life altering risks...call Keyz Thankz to take you and your car home safely!
