The law with respect to impaired driving changed federally on December 18, 2018. Radical changes occurred in Alberta in December 2020. In essence, Alberta has opted out of enforcing the provisions of section 320 of the Criminal Code which relate to impaired driving in situations where it is a first occurrence and where there are no significantly aggravating factors. First occurrences of alcohol-related driving offences are very often dealt with on a purely administrative basis through the SafeRoads Alberta regime.
