Given the recent focus on drug-impaired driving with the legalization of recreational cannabis, new impaired driving laws, related to alcohol, have possibly fallen off the radar.
Starting on Dec. 18, stricter drunk driving laws will come into effect.
Under the new changes, law enforcement across the country will be able to demand a breathalyzer test even if a motorist is showing no signs of alcohol impairment.
Up until now, police officers have needed reasonable grounds to conduct a breath test such as bloodshot eyes, slurring, the smell of alcohol, a driver stumbling or admission of drinking.
