The consequences, however, are far - ranging and include not only 3, 7, 30 or 90 day prohibitions, but
also vehicle impoundment at the driver's expense, and the imposition of «driver improvement action», in the form of mandatory counselling (again, at the driver's expense) as well as the mandatory installation, maintenance and monitoring of ignition inhibitors (once again, at the driver's expense).
Boaters who are
also caught drinking can face consequences and penalties similar to that of drinking and driving, including licence suspension, mandatory alcohol education, or
vehicle impoundment.
