Tougher penalties for repeat drunk drivers in BC
British Columbia introduces measures to curb repeat drinking and driving with mandatory rehab for some offenders, ignition interlock devices for chronic offenders, and extended vehicle impoundment. Fines rise to 500, license reissue tied to rehab, and 400 per year interlock costs expected for about 230 users. Police gain more 24 hour suspension and impound powers. The move faces critique from NDP and MADD demanding broader enforcement and enforcement capacity.
