The concept of impaired driving applies when driving a motor vehicle, including a car, truck, boat, snowmobile, aircraft or train, while the ability to operate the vehicle is impaired by influence of alcohol or drugs.
A person can be convicted of impaired driving when there is proof beyond reasonable doubt of his disability. The evidence could show by example that the person was driving very slowly or too fast, not driving it straight, she was unable to perform simple physical tasks, she had difficulty speaking, she had red eyes, she smelled of alcohol. Any person whose capacity is impaired by alcohol can be charged and convicted of impaired driving, his alcohol level is above or not the "limit imposed by law".
