Alcohol is a major factor in crashes that lead to death and injury. Research proves that even small amounts of alcohol or drugs affect your judgement and ability to drive. It is illegal to drive with alcohol levels above the legal limits, or while under the influence of drugs. It is an offence to refuse to give a breath, blood or urine sample.
