Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The selection of a per se BAC (blood alcohol content) limit for drivers has often been, and continues to be, a contentious and inherently political issue. In Canada, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights recently considered changes to federal impaired driving legislation, including a reduction in the per se BAC limit from 80 mg% to 50 mg%. This paper provides a brief history of per se laws in Canada, an examination of the strength of the research evidence on lowering the per se BAC limit, and a discussion of why lower BAC limits have not been more effective in reducing the alcohol-crash problem. For the covering abstract see ITRD E106992.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
