Comment on Why in America is .08 the legal limit for drunk driving? How come it's not an even 0.10? Who decided at what level being drunk starts? Then 4 beers of 12oz's is 0.08 why is it that small?

In Canada you have the right to an attorney, without delay, simply being detained … except when you’re suspected of drunk driving

Section 10(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees every person the right to retain and instruct legal counsel without delay, and the right to be informed of that right upon arrest or detention.

It’s not so much a violation of your rights, but an elimination of that right during that specific situation
