Driving at or over .08 in Saskatchewan is a serious charge that is not taken lightly.

We will work closely with you to develop a plan for your defence and ensure that your rights are protected. 
Driving over .08 is a criminal offence in Saskatchewan, but it is a separate offence from impaired driving. To be convicted, the police must prove that your blood alcohol content was over the legal limit. It does not matter whether you were impaired while driving. All that matters is that your blood alcohol content was above .08. The police will try to prove this through breathalyzers or blood samples. If convicted, you will face a mandatory minimum penalty of one year's driving prohibition and a $1000 fine for a first offence. If it is not your first offence, you could lose your license for three years and face up to 120 days in jail.
