This also extends to horses. In Australia you can, even if it is not powered.

Infraction date: May 8, 2010 License held at that time: G2 I had really low blood alcohol content(not sure what the exact figure was but it was .00something) It was one beer over dinner. I was fined $110 and suspension was only for 12hours and no demerit points. Due to this I figured just to pay it as I would spend more being off of work and attending hearings. (I know bad move) Little did I know that I guess regardless of the blood alcohol level, record will be the same on my abstract. Now I got ejected from my current insurance provider(State Farm) and am faced with the same $6,000-$10,000 premiums for my insurance. It just pains me that for the weight of the offense as compared to others, I have to suffer as much for premiums.. Hi All,

I still remember when I first attend the driving course to learn about the traffics law and driving laws. Then I got my first car and I drive very carefully. However, I still get into accident because someone was following me closely from the back and she was sleepy and bumped into my car. We should never drive when we are drunk and sleepy. Sometimes when you are trying to be very careful, yet someone else was taking it too easy will cause into accident. I hate those people who don’t care of other’s life.

My husband and I were out in Victoria for a meal. He had a wine and I had a one drink at 6:30 pm waiting for the other couple. We then had a meal. He had 3 glasses of water, dessert and 2 coffees. At 9:15 pm we were stopped at a check stop. He tested .05 and I tested OK. He weights 180 lbs and I am 107 lbs. So eating or 2 1/2 hours make no difference!

He asked for a sample and I was given a three day suspension for a warn. .05-.08 Even though we stood and talked and he could clearly see that I was not impaired because I only had three beer. Now yesterday after leaving a different pub that I was at for only 45 minutes and two beer I was followed for two blocks and pulled over again. He doesn't even ask where I came from just if I had anything to drink. So being honest as before I told him and blew again only this time I was way under. The difference being that this time I had eaten some food. This was at 6:30 after work and there was NO probable cause to pull me over at all so he ran my plate and used that to pull me over. So much for the just cause theory. My friends now call me a Heat Sink and have asked me to leave in front of them so I can clear the way and I have started just drinking pepsi because I need my licence and I don't think I have any rights left so can't take the chance anymore. Kind of funny that I go to the pub to do my football and hockey pools and drink pepsi and then pick up beer and go home to drink it. The pub gives me free drinks as a designated driver but I am getting the impression they wish I wouldn't return because I am now bad for business. All this after a warning charge and three day suspension. I am 55 years old and a road star plus with an excellent record. Oh what a police state we have become with this new law. One only has to look at the pictures that MADD posts on their website to see that the damage that these car sustained were not from a guy driving after a few beers but from the chronic drunks that won't stop even with this new law. This is clearly ALL about money and they are going to ruin many peoples lives in pursuit of it. I got stopped two weeks ago by a New West cop hiding beside the pub I was in.

The presumption of innocence, right to legal recourse have all been quashed through draconian measures and bureaucratic procedures which subvert and circumvent the constitution and charter of rights. Provincial Roadside Justice with no judge, jury, lawyers, and legal precedence. It is reminiscent of 1930's Europe or Martial Law as seen in non democratic nations. It is best to research the matter, sir. When the rule of law has been undermined we enter the phase of the slippery slope.

It seems to me that with an ignition interlock, in which you can't drive over 0.02, you are now at even less risk that someone that's just under the legal limit. I've tried to wrap my head around that one myself. I tend to agree with you Danny.

Gov't makes a fortune on this device as well as their ridiculously priced one day remedial program. In a disturbing way, the gov't owes driving offenders a thanks for this massive extra revenue.
