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 as your degree of impairment is certainly more then someone who has not had a drop.
Get it?

I get it fine, but thanks for that dumbed down post.
What you don't seem to get is the codification doesn't matter. Calling it criminal at point x and administrative at point y doesn't dismiss the fact that due process rights are being denied.
