Quebec’s impaired driving laws are about to adapt stricter consequences.
The Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) announced that starting TODAY, motorists in QUEBEC convicted of drunk driving twice within 10 YEARS will have to blow into a breathalyzer every time they attempt to start a car — for the rest of their lives.
Quebec's Ministry of Transport says from 2013 to 2017, alcohol-related crashes killed an average of 100 people annually. That's on top of the approximately 220 serious injuries and 1,800 minor injuries.
According to ICBC, BC had the toughest impaired driving laws… but obviously that just changed. I spoke with Paul Doroshenko of Acumen Law about our current impaired driving laws are here in our province…
According to ICBC, on average, 68 people die every year in crashes involving impaired driving. Would you support repeat impaired driving offenders to have an interlock device installed in their vehicles for life?
