The radio reported yesterday that drunk driving is now .05 and not .08 one source says. The matter has been under debate.We have not seen ANYTHING (except last April’s announcement) published. Will confirm.
However the file in this locked police car reads the “refusal to take breathalyzer” seems strange for a file to be left in public view in the midst of a debate on road side suspension.
PS: remember both refusal to blow and .08 are criminal records that can affect your employment.

BIKES TWO WEEKS BY BOAT
These travelers from europe say that they put their bikes on a ship and flew here the bikes took two weeks.

You can do that at any government agent office in any community in BC; do not pay the police.
