Impaired driving, also known as DUIs (Driving Under the Influence), encompasses impaired driving, “80 and Over,” and failing to provide a breath sample. The offence occurs when driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. “80 and Over”, in turn, refers to the BAC surpassing the legal limit of 80 mg/100 ml of blood.

If a DUI accident took place, resulting in an injury or death of another person, a driver can face a DUI charge. This crime is very serious and – if proven guilty – can lead to a lengthy jail sentence.

In Barry, the laws regarding drinking and driving offences are constantly evolving, but the main message that police continually send hasn’t changed, emphasising the seriousness of DUI offences. If found guilty of driving under the influence, drivers in Barrie are getting themselves into serious trouble.

Same as in other areas of Canada, police in Barrie have the right to stop and demand providing a breath sample from anyone they believe might be under the influence of alcohol or cannabis. The refusal to provide such a sample or blowing into a breathalyser at the police station is treated as a serious offence, potentially leading to legal consequences.

Young, novice, and commercial vehicle drivers face a zero-tolerance policy, meaning any presence of alcohol or cannabis in their system can result in severe penalties. Even impairment due to consumption can lead to criminal charges, impacting their future significantly.

Convictions for drinking and driving offences entail minimum sentences and are applicable even to those who do not have prior criminal records. Typically, consequences include licence suspension for a year or longer, vehicle impoundment, substantial fines, a criminal record, potential incarceration, and elevated insurance rates.

Defending drinking and driving cases isn’t all that straightforward and is best done by someone with a good deal of experience. Some cases may demand the involvement of a toxicologist, and in this case, involving an application under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is necessary to exclude evidence. In Barrie, navigating such cases requires an experienced lawyer with comprehensive legal expertise to assess and scrutinize all potential defences.

Success in your DUI case entails:

• Retaining your driver’s licence
• Evading imprisonment
• Steering clear of a criminal record
• Shielding against exorbitant auto insurance expenses
• Averting complications at the U.S. border
• Upholding your standing within the community
