Question: The legal Criminal Code blood alcohol limit for drivers in Canada is:

Answer options:

  • 0.05 ✅ 0.08
  • 0.10
  • 0.00

Correct answer: 0.08

Explanation: Under Canada’s federal Criminal Code, the legal limit for impaired driving is a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 percent. While a blood alcohol level of 0.05 percent triggers strict provincial administrative penalties and fines in British Columbia, it does not constitute a federal criminal offense. A 0.00 percent limit applies specifically to graduated licensing program learners and novices under provincial rules rather than the federal standard, and 0.10 percent is historically outdated. Distinguishing between provincial administrative penalties and federal criminal limits is highly relevant for the ICBC exam to guarantee proper compliance with Canadian traffic laws.
