Ontario's New Drinking And Driving Law


Zero tolerance for under 21 drinking and driving in Ontario
Ontario's Liberal government has introduced legislation which will make it illegal for drivers under 21 to have any alcohol in their system when they're behind the wheel.

The change will also apply to every new driver during their first year on the road, no matter what the driver's age.

Don Forgeron, the Ontario vice-president of the Insurance Bureau of Canada says saving lives is more important than inconvenience.
Forgeron says while 16- to 24-year-olds make up nine per cent of the population, they account for 25 per cent of the fatalities and serious injuries on the roads.
