DRINKING AND DRIVING – DUI CHARGES

• Impaired driving – This charge occurs when a police officer has a reason to believe that your ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol or drug as a result of physical observations such as – poor driving or diminished motor skills such as unsteadiness while on your feet, and slurred speech.
• Over 80 mg – This charge occurs when the driver has an alcohol level of over 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. A breathalyzer is used to obtain the evidence for this

  

  charge.

• Refuse to blow or refuse to provide a breath sample – refusal can happen at a roadside traffic stop or at the police station. This charge occurs when a demand for samples or a sample of breath is made by a police officer followed by an outright rejection to providing a sample or unsatisfied samples are provided.

HOW DUI CHARGES CAN AFFECT YOU

Drinking and driving charges are offences in the Criminal Code that have mandatory sentences even if you have no Criminal or Highway Traffic Act record. The minimum sentences for a first offence is a $1000 fine and a 12 month driving prohibition, for a second offence 30 days in jail and for a third offence 120 days in jail. Aggravating features such as an accident, high breath sample readings or bad driving can lead to penalties well above the minimum sentence.
