Driving damage was a crime recognized in Canada since 1921. Despite the fact that the operating rate has dramatically declined since the mid-1980s, damage during driving remains a major cause of crime death. Note 1 Operational damage is still an important issue not only for the entire Canadian government, but also for police stations, justice systems, community organizations, and the general public. In Canada, the Penal Code prohibits driving, and the ability to drive a car is at risk from alcohol and drugs. It is also illegal to raise the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of more than 80 mg alcohol relative to 100 ml of blood. Over the last few decades, the federal government has taken several steps to combat damaged driving. For example, several amendments have been made to the Criminal Code to increase the minimum and maximum penalty for driving damage. The latest fix is ​​proposed in July 2008.

Damage during driving is a term that represents a crime against the driving, care, or management of a car in Canada, and the ability of the driver to drive a car is impaired by alcohol or drugs.

Also, different types of driver's licenses may be suspended. In 1921, the Canadian Parliament first established a simple belief about drunk driving called "drunk driving."

The minimum punishment for the second offense is one month 's imprisonment. The minimum punishment for the third crime is three months imprisonment.
