The violent driver is lucky to have not run over a child or anyone for heaven's sake. And she is let go because a judge says it is unconstitutional. Not thinking of the safety of the public is unconstitutional!

Among its various criticisms, last week we reported corruption within the OPP ranks. Further deteriorating the validity of the stunt driving law, a judge has ruled that the charges laid against a 62-year-old grandmother are unconstitutional.

That number will get you a conviction , fine , & a record. It is illegal to drive a vehicle with those levels in your bloodstream. And so it should be. If I get pulled over with 0.05 in my bloodstream , I am not legally impaired , there fore I am doing nothing illegal. Why should I get my licence taken for 3 days for not comitting an illegal offense. This is a money grab & nothing more. $150 to get my license reinstated? Whats next?? 0 tolerence?? Probably. I'm all for getting drunk drivers off the road & keepijng them off. What is the name of the charge for having the 0,05 - 0.08 in your blood , almost impaired driving?? I have been "drinking & driving" for over 30 years with never a conviction of being impaired. I kind go by the 1 drink per hour rule. I enjoy a cold beer & seeing a live band at a bar. I don't go out to get pissed up or to intentionally try to push the "ALMOST IMPAIRED" charge. Lets get real here. If you are found to have excess alchohol in your blood , 0.08 or higher charge that person & make it severe. I still maintain that at the lower consuption levels I am not legally impaired , there fore guilty of nothing!! I plan to continue going out for a "couple" of beers , but with the implimentation of this new money grab , I will surrender my keys to the bar( don't want to get caught with keys if I am impaired) , request an officer to test my alcohol levels. If I am good to go , I will then get my keys back & be on my way. I just hope on the way home I don't get stopped & charged with " he has a pretty sporty looking car , maybe he intends to drive too fast". Lets get him for mentally wanting to speed. l Lets see now , that would be ALMOST street racing. Get real!!!! If i break the law charge me , dont charge me if I have done nothing wrong legally!!!
