Driving under the influence (DUI), also referred to as impaired driving, is a broad term used to describe such violations as operating a vehicle while impaired, exceeding the legal alcohol limit (“80 and Over”), and failing to provide a breath sample when requested by police during traffic stops.

DUI happens when a driver gets behind the wheel while being impaired either by alcohol, or drugs, or both. “80 and over” refers to the condition of having a blood concentration (BAC) exceeding the legal limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood (0.08).

DUI accidents resulting in injury, bodily harm, or death are serious offences that often carry lengthy prison sentences, sometimes exceeding 8 years. Consequently, the regulations concerning drinking and driving in Milton are stringent.

Law enforcement officers have the right to request a breath sample during traffic stops, and refusal to comply is likely to lead to charges. The same principle applies to breathalyzer tests conducted at police stations. Drivers who decline to undergo these tests may incur fines and DUI charges.

It is essential to note that young, inexperienced, and commercial vehicle drivers are subject to a zero-tolerance policy. This means that any presence of alcohol or cannabis in their system can entail severe repercussions, potentially resulting in criminal charges if impairment is detected.

When found guilty of driving while intoxicated, the consequences are severe, regardless of whether you had a prior legal history or not. Prepare for penalties including the suspension of your driver’s licence for a year or more, confiscation of your vehicle, substantial fines, a lasting criminal record, potential incarceration, and increased insurance rates.

Due to the nature of DUI offences, winning such a case is rather challenging or even impossible without a specialized expertise. At times, it may be necessary to involve a toxicologist. It’s also quite common to involve an application under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to exclude evidence. Therefore, navigating these cases effectively requires a professional DUI lawyer with experience behind their back.

Winning your DUI case entails:

• Maintaining your driver’s licence
• Avoiding imprisonment
• Avoiding a criminal record
• Reducing car insurance costs
• Preventing problems while crossing the US border
• Keeping your reputation intact
