Charges for Over 80 Milligrams of Alcohol
Criminal Charges February 6th. 2008, 4:55pmUnder Canadian law, the result of a conviction in the case of drinking and driving (DUI/DWI) can be truly horrible. That is why we at Legal Action sincerely urge you to seek legal counsel before you plead guilty to any charge related to DUI/DWI.
This is especially true for people who rely on driving as a livelihood because a conviction for impaired driving, driving over 80 milligrams, dangerous driving, and similar charges can result in a 1 year suspension of your driver’s license as well as a criminal record.
If your blood alcohol is over 80 milligrams (over .08) then you face serious challenges unless you hire a competent legal representative.
UPDATE: It is illegal for any paralegal to represent anyone for impaired driving, DUI or similar charge. Legal Action will be happy to refer you to trusted lawyers that have met the needs of many of our clients in the past and will help you find the lawyer you need to alleviate the anxiety and pressure associated with drinking and driving offences.

just contacting you for a loved one of mine that is being charged with impaired, impaired over 80 and stunt driving,how is it possible for someone to be deemed stunt driving for losing control of a vehicle (actually listed on the ticket as losing contact with highway)where the roadway went from being gravel to paved…..and hitting a tree. I am not sure of what stunt driving is, and when the question was asked by the officer stunt driving was not even explained, i am CONFUSED as to what stunt driving actually is and not what some “NEW POLICE OFFICER” THINKS IT IS….please help this would be very much appreciated, not sure if u should endure in legal action or let this ride out????thanks!
