3 day suspension and impoundment So i got a 3 day license suspension and car impounded for blowing a warn(0.06) at 3 am on friday. my question is when can i pick my car up? would it be exactly after 72hours? which would be later today (currently monday 2:30am [71.5hours passed]) $600 lesson learned. thanks. |
Exactly after 72 hours during business hours from the tow yard Posted via RS Mobile |
The limit was lowered to .06? wtf?? Edit: Forgot about the N sign.. yeah bad idea to be over 0 with that |
Do you have any previous tickets? Hope your license doesn't get suspended Posted via RS Mobile |

Basically If you blow a warn (0.05-0.08) for the first time in five-year period will face: - 3 day driving ban + $200 administrative penalty - driver licence reinstatement fee of $250 - 3 day vehicle impoundment, which will cost about $150 Totalling to $600 for first incident. Any subsequent WARN blows result in 7 day ban then 30day ban as well as the administrative fee of 100$ are added each time as well as the cost for impoundment i guess. Much severe for people who blow over 0.08 though. 90day ban + $500 + $250DL + $700 for 30day impound + $880 class + $1420 breathalyzer ignition = $3750 as well as possible criminal conviction. Quote:
The ticket given is notice of driving prohibition 215.41(MVA) the 3 day ban one. I guess i will be able to get my license and car back today. I was drinking wine too. fml, time to buy a breathalyzer. |
Wow... .06 that's like.. 1 drink and you can't drive? Incredible |
I'm probably in the minority here, but if i have anything to drink i won't drive. Just doesn't seem worth it to risk a possible DUI/accident, even though one drink probably won't put you over the limit... |
japan is 0 tolerance at any license level iirc... so we're getting off relatively easy. I'd rather this than having a bunch of drunk people driving around. obviously it's a case of locks being there to keep honest people out, but those that may have thought about it in the past may be dissuaded from grabbing the keys or getting that next beer. |

Yup three full day periods under the IRP program. If it happened at 30 minutes past midnight early on a Monday morning, you'd have to wait the rest of the Monday period, then three full days (tues-wed-thurs) then would be eligible to pick it up after 1201 AM on the Friday, assuming the tow office is open. The limits on a WARN have been above .05 since 1977 in british Columbia.... the new legislation in 2010 made the penalties more severe and actually gave drivers a buffer with the calibration on the ASD's. Prior to 2010 legislation you'd receive a 24 hour and may or may not have your car towed. |

I mean like I may do a toast and have a sip, but I certainly will not order a pint, or a glass of wine if I know I am going to be driving later (even if it is a few hours away). My whole thought process is that the glass of wine will not get me anywhere and why risk anything? |

I certainly would be scared of getting a DUI since the limit is so low, it wouldn't be worth the risk. However I don't think it would affect my ability to drive after just a glass of wine or beer. But everyone is different.. My wife gets tipsy after like a sip of wine... For me, I drink all the time and am big so it would definitely take more drinks to affect me |
IIRC, first reading was 0.076. i asked to blow again as you are permitted by law to request and get a second machine to blow on of which the lowest reading will count. Literally two minutes later the reading was 0.065 2 minutes to bring it down 0.01 interesting... if the margin of error is 0.01 i might even have a case for dispute. anyone heard of such cases? lol |
I may be wrong, but i thought DUI cases are next to impossible to dispute? |
Iirc you can only contest the charges with a lawyer, I could be wrong though (this was the only way my father had his waived :rolleyes: ) I don't drive after I drink, even if it's only one drink and I feel fine. Would just rather not take the risk that my reaction time might be impaired *shrugs* everyone is different and I'm just not comfortable with it. |
My friend and i had 2 of soju together he blew 0.064 first Cop sad if he blows anything under 0.06 second time, we could go And then few minutes after he blew 0.059 Closee callllll |

Your car will be available Tuesday because it was impounded on the Friday. Apparently the 1st day doesnt count according to ICBC but the towing company will charge u for the extra day no problem. And if u wanna contest the charge u need a lawyer but theres no point. The charge is about $700 total and the cheapest lawyer ull find will be $500 so the best case scenario is that u save $200 and theres no gaurantees |

TY for the unintended tip ;) Quote:
Would also be a lot easier if there were precedent cases which i bet there is a good chance of? |
^ The question is, is it an unintended tip, or the opposite? |
Speaking on breathalyzers, can anyone comment as to which is the most accurate (based on what the LEOs use) civilian breathalyzer? Been thinking to get one, as my low tolerance.. lol, that Asian descent.. makes me wonder what I'd blow after a beer or two with dinner. |
i dont know, to blow a .06 u gotta be drunk. i had 3 shots(soju) + 3-4 beers. then stopped drinking about 1 hr + before driving. i blew a .019 but i think .06+ is quite intoxicated to drive breathalysers, accuracy dies, after a few test, as water vapour in ur breath fucks the sensor.. .. |
