Driving under the influence (DUI) encompasses various violations, including impaired driving, exceeding the legal alcohol limit (“80 and Over”), and failing to provide a breath sample during traffic stops.

DUI occurs when a driver operates a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or both. Exceeding the legal alcohol limit means having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) higher than 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood (0.08).

Accidents resulting from DUI that cause injury or death are severe offences, often resulting in lengthy prison sentences, sometimes over 8 years. Consequently, regulations surrounding drinking and driving in Newmarket are strict.

Law enforcement officers can request a breath sample during traffic stops, and refusal may lead to charges. The same applies to breathalyzer tests at police stations, with refusal resulting in fines and DUI charges.

Young, novice, and commercial vehicle drivers face a zero-tolerance policy, meaning any presence of alcohol or cannabis in their system could result in criminal charges if impairment is found.

The consequences of a conviction are profound, regardless of whether you have a clean legal slate or not. If found guilty of driving while intoxicated, brace yourself for penalties such as a driver’s licence suspension lasting a year or more, vehicle confiscation, hefty fines, a permanent stain on your criminal record, possible imprisonment, and heightened insurance rates.

Given the complexity of DUI offences, securing a favourable outcome in such cases proves challenging, if not outright impossible, without specialized expertise. In certain instances, the assistance of a toxicologist becomes indispensable. Moreover, leveraging applications under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to exclude evidence is a common strategy. Thus, effectively navigating these cases demands the expertise of a seasoned DUI lawyer with a wealth of experience.

Winning a DUI case means:

• • Keeping your driver’s licence
  • Staying out of jail
  • Avoiding a criminal record
  • Lowering car insurance fees
  • Avoiding issues at the US border
  • Preserving your good reputation
