What is the legal limit for alcohol in Canada according to the Criminal Code?

  1. 0.05 grams per 100 ml of blood

  2. 0.08 grams per 100 ml of blood

  3. 0.10 grams per 100 ml of blood

  4. 0.12 grams per 100 ml of blood

The correct answer is: 0.08 grams per 100 ml of blood

The legal limit for alcohol in Canada according to the Criminal Code is 0.08 grams per 100 ml of blood. This limit was set based on scientific research and testing to determine the level at which alcohol impairs a person's ability to operate a vehicle safely. Option A, 0.05 grams per 100 ml of blood, is incorrect because it is actually the legal limit for certain provinces and territories, but not for the entire country. Option C, 0.10 grams per 100 ml of blood, and Option D, 0.12 grams per 100 ml of blood, are incorrect because they are above the legal limit and would result in charges for impaired driving. It is important to remember that the legal limit for alcohol varies by country and should always be checked before operating a vehicle.
