What is the criminal code fail level for impairment in British Columbia?

  1. .05%

  2. .08%

  3. .10%

  4. .12%

The correct answer is: .08%

In British Columbia, the criminal code fail level for impairment when operating a motor vehicle is .08%. This means that if a driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is measured at .08% or higher, they are considered legally impaired and can face criminal charges. This threshold is established to ensure public safety by deterring individuals from driving under the influence of alcohol. Levels below this threshold may still be subject to administrative penalties, particularly for drivers under a .05% BAC, which can lead to immediate roadside penalties, and for novice drivers or those with lower permitted BAC levels. However, it is important to note that .08% is the point at which criminal prosecution becomes applicable, highlighting the legal standards in place to combat impaired driving in British Columbia.
