Ditch it in a parking lot and report it stolen.

Well, usually it's not a light on the dash. It's a pair of lights in the grill and alternating flashing headlights. Ask me how I know.

Also a good number to know *OPP. So if you have a doubt on the 401 call them up. If you see road rage, obvious drunkenness...call them up.

Speaking of drinking and driving, RIDE patrol last evening (6pm) at Queen and River ....be careful out there!

RyeHigh

Yeap....they're out in full force. Got pulled over on Simcoe Road in Oshawa, Saturday night around 9:00ish on the way up to the Casino......Only had one glass of wine with dinner.....but still that's too much with these guys....blow near .05 and your done for the night.

Dale Gribble

what do they do if you blow 0.05? charge you with DUI? I thought the limit was 0.08? How is it setup now?

Christien

I think there's always been a rule on the books that they can make a judgment call if you're between 05 and 08 and take away your keys for 24 hours. It kind of makes sense, because you could get people with a really low tolerance that may not blow over the legal limit but still shouldn't be driving.

RyeHigh

I believe that they can suspend your licence for a 12 hour period if you hit the .05 level.

Dale Gribble

it makes sense i suppose.
how does insurence see the 12/24 hr suspensions?

jumper5836

Yes thats right but they planning on now changing the law so that they can give out a fine and it will go on your record so the insurance companies can hike up your rate.
I believe its the same bill that will also allow your 14 year old daughters to screw 20 year olds as well as 12 year old to screw 14 year olds.

Dale Gribble

soooo...then we're all agreed...ontario is a cluster ****?

RyeHigh

AGREED!!!!

Dale Gribble

rye,
did they tow ur car?

RyeHigh

No, I only had 1 glass of wine and would have been well under .05....but certainly not worth the risk of having more then a drink or two.....

Dale Gribble

ah..gotcha.
sounds about rite tho...have a glass, maybe 2..then go home.

how many beers for an average male to get to 0.08 anyhow?

RyeHigh

That really depends on a few factors,...but I would say for the average guy, 5"9-10" 170-190 lbs...4-6 beers and your at your limit....any more then that and your asking for trouble.
