What is impaired driving? What is DUI?

Impaired driving is a criminal offence pursuant to the Criminal Code of Canada. The offence occurs when a driver operates a vehicle while his or her ability to do so is impaired by the use of alcohol or drugs. DUI (or driving under the influence) is simply a colloquial term for the same offence.

A distinct but related offence is “driving over .08”, which occurs when a driver operates a vehicle with a blood-alcohol ratio of over 80 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. Other related charges include:

  • Refusing to provide a breath sample.
  • Impaired driving causing death or bodily harm.
  • Driving over .08 causing death or bodily harm.

Michael Gordner can help if you are facing charges of driving over .08 or any charges related to impaired driving in Canada.

Drinking and driving is NOT against the law.

You might think that your situation is hopeless because you had a drink before driving or because you failed the breath test. Think again.

In Canada, drinking and driving alone is not against the law. Breath tests are often inaccurate or deemed unreliable and excluded from evidence.

Impaired driving is a criminal charge. A criminal record can affect your ability to work and travel. If convicted, you face significant fines and possible jail time.
