DUI, Over 80, Refusal — Criminal Charges. IRS — Serious Administrative Sanctions.
In Alberta, impaired driving cases can involve both criminal charges and immediate licence suspensions:
-
IRS (Immediate Roadside Sanction): An administrative licence suspension that can take effect instantly — even before criminal charges are laid.
-
Criminal DUI or Impaired Driving Charges: Formal charges under the Criminal Code.
-
Over 80 (BAC over 0.08): A criminal offence based on your breath or blood test result.
-
Refusing a Breath or Blood Test: Also a criminal offence.
Even if you’ve only received an IRS, your licence, job, and future are still at risk — and IRS penalties can sometimes lead to full criminal prosecution.
👉 That’s why early legal advice matters — whether you're facing an IRS, criminal charge, or both.
