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: The Canadian Criminal Code sets the federal limit for criminal impaired driving prosecution at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher. While Quebec enforces a provincial zero-tolerance limit of 0.00 for learners, probationary drivers, and motorists under age 22, 0.08 remains the nationwide criminal threshold. The 0.05 limit represents the point at which provincial administrative penalties can apply in other Canadian jurisdictions, whereas 0.10 is incorrect and is not a Canadian legal standard. Distinguishing between provincial highway safety regulations and federal criminal limits is regular subject matter for the SAAQ knowledge exam.
