At the roadside:

  • You may have been arrested.

  • Your vehicle may have been towed and you are responsible all costs associated with the towing.

  • You were issued a summons to appear in court.

What awaits you at court?

A conviction that carries a mandatory 6-month licence suspension consecutive to any other suspension.

Upon conviction for a first offence, you are liable to a fine of $1,000.00 to $5,000.00 and for each subsequent offence to a fine of $2,000.00 to $5,000.00 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both.

If you were suspended as a result of a conviction of an offence under the Criminal Code as set out in the Highway Traffic Act, then upon conviction for a first offence, you are liable, to a fine of $5,000.00 to $25,000.00 and for each subsequent offence, to a fine of $10,000.00 to $50,000.00 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both.
