NEWS: Alberta Changes Drunk Driving, Ignition Interlock Laws

Alberta law is enhancing its drunk driving and Ignition Interlock law. The effective month was in April 2018.

Officers in Alberta are now able to issue an immediate 90-day license suspension during roadside stops for drivers whose blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is at least .08 or higher. This law also applies to drivers impaired by drugs, or both alcohol and drugs, and those who fail or refuse breath or blood tests.

Another provision is an immediate three-day vehicle seizure, or seven-day seizure, for second and subsequent impaired driving occurrences.

New Ignition Interlock Requirements

Following the 90-day suspension, drivers must install an Ignition Interlock for one year. An Ignition Interlock connects to the vehicle’s ignition system and requires the driver to provide a breath test that’s above its set fail limit before the vehicle will start.

With these changes to Alberta’s drunk driving law, drivers can get back on the road safely again with an Ignition Interlock. If you do need an Ignition Interlock, Smart Start can provide you a reliable device and an affordable program.
