Open Liquor (Boat)

Unread post by Mochilli »

Is there any other repercussions for open liquor on boat OTHER than the set fine? Is there demerit point or any other related issues?

Re: Impaired boating

Personally I think the boating laws should be the same as on land. You can't get an impaired on a bicycle so why should you get an impaired in a kayak ? Motorised boat ? Absolutely.

I know the OPP charged a pedal boat driver with Impaired in 2011. The charges were withdrawn by the crown so there was no precedent set. Original charges http://www.saultstar.com/2011/08/27/pad ... roy-column charges withdrawn http://www.saultstar.com/2011/10/17/cha ... dle-boater OPS
