Drinking and Driving Laws in Guelph

It’s not illegal to have a drink and drive. But it is illegal to:

• Drive while impaired, or

• Drive with a BAC over 80 mg

Both are criminal offences in Canada.

Many people don’t understand the difference — but the law is clear. Breath tests aren’t perfect, and mistakes can happen. That’s why getting legal advice matters.
