Well clearly I’m out of the loop.

I’ve always thought up to two beers when I’m out for wings is safe but apparently I need to refresh my knowledge.

MADD has lobbied heavily for murderers who have a couple beers with food.

Criminally? You are probably safe.

Can they still ruin your day over it? Absolutely.

Combine that with that they no longer need reasonable suspicion to make you blow, and that they can make you blow 2 hours after you get out of the vehicle.

Ubers are cheap

Basically this.
They can sort of, essentially give you a 24hr because feelings now.

There's a big difference between the criminal threshold that requires a full and fair trial and the admistrative roadside "no recourse" threshold for people with a GDL. There's also the in between administrative roadside thing for people with an adult license.

I advise not to chance any of them, regardless of your license status. But the "ruin your day" vs "ruin your life" is a big gap.

Ever wonder how many lives were saved because of the gdl system?

0.

Honestly I wonder if the governemnt has incidents comparing gdl vs full dl after 2, 5, 10 and 15 years

[Disoblige]

For all the GDLs, we all just waiting for the day they announce the program is abolished and we all automatically get full Class 5.

That didn't exist when I was young, but have you run into any problems with GDL and renting vehicles?

I got refused a rental in Nanaimo with a GDL with I think Budget. Went next door to enterprise and no problem.

Did upgrade since I wanted the ability to have 1 beer and not be afraid

IMO, if you ain't leaving Alberta there isn't much discrimination against GDL.

Moving to Ontario? Prepare to get raped by insurance, even more than usual as one my cousins recently learnt.

I discriminate against GDL. It's a license for children.

Fist bump.

Every person who "refuses to upgrade GDL" sounds like someone who would fail the exam. I passed on the first attempt with no issues. I barely missed the cutoff. It wasn't implemented when I got my learners at 14, but it was in place when I got my license at 16, and I upgraded when I was 20.
More demerits, no more "zero tolerance" alcohol, and you can sit with a learner's permit. Also one less thing to worry about in these scenarios.

Wife exchanged her AB GDL for a British License, then exchanged back and the GDL was magically gone
