Question: Drivers caught at 0.08 or above face an immediate licence suspension of:

Answer options:

  • 24 hours
  • 7 days
  • 30 days ✅ 90 days

Correct answer: 90 days

Explanation: Under the Quebec Highway Safety Code, drivers who register a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher face an immediate 90-day administrative licence suspension at the roadside. This severe countermeasure is designed to immediately remove potentially impaired drivers from the road. Shorter periods like 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days are incorrect because they do not reflect the standard statutory suspension period for exceeding the legal limit, although a 24-hour suspension applies to zero-tolerance violations for novice drivers. Memorizing these specific administrative penalties and timelines is highly relevant for passing the SAAQ theory exam, as questions regarding impaired driving consequences appear frequently.
