Over 80 Charge Ontario. What does it mean?
An Over 80 charge means you’ve been suspected of drunk driving and your blood/alcohol level is above 80mgs of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. Alcohol does not have to hinder your driving ability for this charge, unlike an impaired driving charge.
In fact, if an officer remotely suspects you have high blood/alcohol levels they can legally suggest a breath test or a field test such as making you recite your ABCs backwards or walking a straight line. But most often you will be required to blow into a roadside device.
One cannot refuse to submit to a breathalyzer test. Refusal can later be considered a criminal offence in court, so don’t make your situation worse. If you’re caught under the influence of alcohol and the police officer insists that you take a breath test – go along with it.

Best Strategy Against Over 80 Charge, Ontario
According to Canadian regulations, the maximum allowable amount of alcohol while driving is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood. If you can prove in court that the blood alcohol level at the time of driving was lower than the legal breath alcohol limit, you would win the case.
Of course, your chances to prove that, especially after passing the breath that showed 80 plus alcohol are slim. However, there are some tricks that can help you get out of it with the least damage – and the professional lawyer will help you.
Any lawyer worth their salt knows the simplest and the best defense strategy for impaired driving over 80 Ontario is to show to a zealous Crown prosecution that there are facts that they can’t prove.
The Crown Attorney has the burden of proof. They need to work arduously to demonstrate that a huge checklist of items can’t be disputed. If they can’t prove one of these checkpoints, the Crown can’t be successful with a conviction for the drive over 80 mgs.
It’s not simple to prosecute an Over 80 charge because it must be proven that your blood contained 80 milligrams of alcohol exactly the moment you were driving and not the moment you were taking the test.
Since alcohol levels in the human body might rise as alcohol travels to the bloodstream from the stomach or decrease during the metabolic process, it’s nearly impossible to calculate exact blood/alcohol levels at the time of driving, particularly since the breath test is taken hours later.
