All it will take is for his behaviour to deviate from his normal behaviour. More specifically, proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the degree of impairment is significant enough to affect the driver\u2019s judgment or conduct.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-854d795 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"854d795\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Degrees of tolerance according to individuals<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b518ece elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b518ece\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Since the degree of tolerance differs from person to person, an individual might consume a large amount of alcohol and not have any symptoms of impairment, while another might be more impaired after consuming very little. In other words, a person with low alcohol tolerance can still have symptoms of impaired ability without exceeding the legal limit of 80 mg.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, since the subject of the offence is a weakened driving ability, erratic conduct is not necessary to prove the offence. However, such driving is often caused by the driver being impaired by alcohol or drugs. Therefore, if it is shown that the accused\u2019s driving was faultless, it may serve to raise a reasonable doubt in the judge\u2019s mind in order to obtain an acquittal.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bbcda6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4bbcda6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Defining the cause of impaired driving<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c19f921 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c19f921\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Driving must be impaired by alcohol and\/or drug use. Therefore, a person cannot be <a href=\"https:\/\/criminalattorneysmontreal.com\/drinking-driving\/\">charged with impaired driving<\/a> solely because of factors such as fatigue, stress or disability. The evidence must demonstrate that a substance has been consumed (and this substance must be specified). However, fatigue combined with alcohol or drug use can, for example, influence driving ability and still cause impairment.<\/p>\n<p>When a person falls asleep at the wheel after consuming very little alcohol and causes an accident, it is necessary to consider whether the driving was affected solely by sleep, alcohol or a combination of the two. Alcohol consumption must be linked to impairment of ability, otherwise it is not an offence under the Criminal Code. Similarly, if an accident occurs, there must be a convincing relationship between alcohol or drug use and the accident.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, an accident will not automatically be related to the fact that the individual had consumed alcohol. Moreover, it has been established in case law that poor judgment on the part of a driver is not systematically linked to a weakening of his or her driving
