MADD Wants BAC Lowered To .05%
In what may be the harbinger of things to come, Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD) launched an effort in Quebec to have the legal limit dropped to .05% BAC for most drivers. Quebec indefinitely postponed a proposal to lower the maximum legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for driving to .05 because of very strong and widespread public opposition to the action. MADD Canada asserted that the government’s action was a result of “myths” and “fear mongering” perpetrated by opponents. MADD did win one important victory in its new war on drinkers under 21; the government of Quebec will impose a 0.00 BAC requirement on all drivers under the age of 21.
