Charged with a DUI, 80 Over, Refusal, or Impaired Driving?Drug Offences
Lawyers Specializing in alcohol and drug Related driving offences
Canada doesn’t use the term “DUI”. You’ve likely been charged with Impaired Operation/Driving (320.24(1)(a)), 80 Over (320.14(1)(b)), or even more likely, both.
Prosecutors telling you they’ll drop the Impaired if you plead guilty to the 80 Over? Not a deal. You can’t be convicted of both. A refusal charge is a different story.
Impaired Operation charges are one of the most complicated charges in the Criminal Code. Complicated charges mean police make mistakes. Police making mistakes means opportunities to beat or reduce the charge. DON’T JUMP INTO A GUILTY PLEA.
Don’t panic about your first court date. It’s not a trial, or a hearing. There’s going to be a bunch of court dates. And if you have a lawyer, you likely don’t need to go. [Learn more at “First Time Charged? Panicking? Watch this video and relax.”]
Not your first DUI? If you have been convicted of Impaired Operation/80 Over/Refusal before, call our urgent line. There are serious consequences and they are time sensitive.
If a lawyer tells you he or she can get you out of a DUI, get your licence back, or get you a reduced charge without first having reviewed your disclosure, run, don’t walk!
