for 12 or 24 hours if you register a "Warn" on an approved
screening device. In addition, in some provinces, a police officer can, on
behalf of the registrar of motor vehicles, suspend your licence for 90 days
if you fail a breath test or refuse to provide a breath sample.

False: The "one drink per hour" rule only works for the first
two or three hours. It does not work for women. Restrict yourself to no more
than two drinks. Better yet, don’t drink if you are going to drive.

False: Impaired driving laws apply to all types of motor vehicles
regardless of where they are being operated.
Next question

| 5. |
False: Impaired driving is a criminal offence. You will be photographed and
fingerprinted. You must appear in court. Among other things, a conviction
results in a criminal record. You can go to jail; for a second offence, you
will go to jail.

| 6. |
False: Drinking drivers of all ages have an increased risk of crash
involvement. In general, risk increases with BAC. However, the risk for
young drivers increases much more rapidly due to their inexperience as
drivers, peer pressure and the impact of even small amounts of alcohol.
Next question
|
| 7. |
True: This is one of the most unreliable ways to tell. A person’s
judgment is seriously affected by alcohol and they often overestimate their
abilities.
Next question
|
| 8. |
False: Time is the only way to reduce your BAC. Depending on how much you
have had to drink, it can take many hours for your BAC to return to zero.
