This story from Canada reports that from tomorrow (Sunday), drivers in Quebec under/including the age of 21 face an immediate 3-month ban if they drive with ANY alcohol in their bloodstream. The limit for older drivers remains unchanged (it’s the same limit as in the UK).
According to the article, it means young drivers have to spend five years being completely sober if they drive.
New drivers in Quebec are already forbidden from drinking at age 16 with a learner’s permit, and for two years once they get their provisional. This change means that is now extended up to the age of 22.
The new rule also allows police to stop young drivers to test them.
Apparently, Ontario, Manitoba, and New Brunswick in Canada already have the same rule, where it has apparently been effective.
Some countries’ leaders definitely have more balls than ours do.
