If your blood alcohol concentration is more than 80 milligrams in 100 millilitres of blood (.08)…?
- Your license will be suspended immediately for 30 days
- Your license will be suspended immediately for 10 days
- Your license will be suspended immediately for 90 days ✓
- Your license will be suspended immediately for 10 days
Answer: C. Your license will be suspended immediately for 90 days
Your licence will be suspended immediately for 90 days when your blood alcohol concentration is more than 80 milligrams in 100 millilitres of blood (.08).
Why this is the answer
The handbook lists an immediate 90-day administrative licence suspension when your BAC is more than 80 milligrams in 100 millilitres of blood. It says this suspension starts at the roadside or police station and is separate from any criminal charges. That makes the 90-day immediate suspension the correct result for being over .08, while the one-year suspension described elsewhere applies after a Criminal Code conviction.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Your license will be suspended immediately for 30 days — A 30-day suspension is not the immediate suspension the handbook gives for a BAC above .08; the listed period is 90 days.
- B. Your license will be suspended immediately for 10 days — A 10-day suspension does not match the handbook's immediate suspension for a BAC above .08, which is 90 days.
- D. Your license will be suspended immediately for 10 days — This repeats the 10-day figure, but the handbook's immediate suspension for a BAC above .08 is 90 days.
Remember it
Link over .08 with a full 90-day roadside suspension; the shorter warn-range numbers belong to .05 to .08.
