B.C. to toughen drunk driving laws
|
March 7, 2010. B.C.'s solicitor general says the province will move to get more drunks off the road with legislation that includes immediate sanctions against impaired drivers. A group lobbying for tougher impaired driving laws predicted the legislation will also include dropping the blood-alcohol limit to 0.05 per cent from 0.08. Solicitor General Kash Heed said Friday that B.C. would soon have among the most aggressive anti-drinking-and-driving laws in the country.
The legislation due this spring will be accompanied by a massive public information campaign aimed at young and new drivers. "We are going to take assertive steps here in British Columbia to deal with impaired driving on our streets," said Heed. "We will probably have the most aggressive approach at the end of the day to deal with this."
