What Is Driving Over 80?

Driving Over 80 means your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) tested above 80 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood — or 0.08.

Unlike impaired driving charges based on how you were acting or driving, Driving Over 80 is based on one thing: the test result.

  • You may have felt perfectly fine to drive. How can you be charged?

  • You may have shown no signs of impairment.

  • But if the machine says 0.08 or higher — that triggers the charge.

👉 And that’s why these cases can — and should — be challenged.

Many Cases Can Be Successfully Challenged — Even If You Failed the Test

👉 Breath and blood tests aren’t perfect.

Skilled DUI defence lawyers know how to challenge:

  • Improper roadside screening procedures

  • Breathalyzer machine maintenance or calibration issues

  • Delays between driving and testing

  • Charter violations during arrest or testing

  • Procedural errors by police officers

One mistake may mean the entire test gets excluded from evidence — and the charge can be withdrawn or dismissed.

What You’re Really Facing If Convicted

A Driving Over 80 conviction brings serious, lasting consequences:

  • A permanent criminal record

  • Licence suspension (immediate & long-term)

  • Thousands in fines, legal fees, and court costs

  • Sky-high insurance premiums for years

🚗 Ignition Interlock & Driving Restrictions After a Driving Over 80 Conviction

Even after your suspension ends, Driving Over 80 convictions create long-term restrictions.

  • Ignition interlock devices (breath start-up systems)

  • Work, school, or medical driving limitations

  • Court-ordered impaired driving education or treatment programs

  • Regular monitoring and compliance checks

  • Long-term insurance hikes

Many people don’t fully understand the impact — until it’s too late.

🔍 Real Case Example: The Reading Was Over — But the Case Didn’t Hold Up

A driver blew 0.10 on a breath test and was charged. But the defence discovered that the machine hadn’t been properly calibrated and that the officer skipped a key step during the roadside test. The results were excluded, and the case was dismissed.

👉 One missed step can make the difference between a conviction and a clean record.

💬 What People Say: I Thought There Was No Hope — I Was Wrong

"I thought I had no chance. I failed the breath test, and everyone said it was open and shut. But my lawyer found problems with the test that I never would’ve seen. The charges were dropped."

👉 A good DUI lawyer sees things you won’t — and knows how to use them.
