Put it this way, would it be okay if the speed limit was set at 110 but cops could pull over people doing 90-109 and suspend their license for 24 hours (complete with a $200 reinstatement fee) without any due process?
Make the limit the limit, be it .04 or .08, don't create a grey area in which you remove legal rights.

This is what you are clearly not understanding. I am not sure I can put it a different way.
In your example, doing 90-109 in a 110 zone is not an offence- criminal, provincial or otherwise.
In the case of driving while having alcohol in your system, it IS an offence (just not a criminal code offence). You seem to think it's not.
So to use your example, say driving over 110 was a criminal offence. You drive over and get caught, you get a criminal charge. However if you are going between 90-109, the province has determined that you should not be on the road.... simple really....
Get it?
