Drunk Driving, DUI, or Impaired Driving — What’s the Difference?
In Canada, these terms are often used interchangeably. Whether you were charged with:
-
Driving While Impaired by Alcohol
-
Driving Over 80 (BAC over 0.08)
-
Refusing a Breathalyzer
-
Impaired Driving Causing Injury or Death
— the law treats these as serious criminal offences.
You could lose your driver’s licence, your job, your freedom — even if this is your first offence.
What’s At Risk With a Drunk Driving Conviction?
-
A permanent criminal record
-
Licence suspension — possibly before trial
-
Heavy fines and court-imposed costs
-
Sky-high insurance premiums
-
Difficulty traveling — especially to the U.S.
-
Loss of employment, if driving is part of your work
-
Possible jail time, especially for repeat or serious cases

🔍 Real Example: (Charge Dropped After Testing Was Challenged)
A driver in Ontario was charged with Over 80 after a breath test showed results well above the legal limit. But their lawyer carefully reviewed the police disclosure and discovered that the testing device hadn’t been properly calibrated. The defence raised this issue with the Crown before trial — and the charge was withdrawn.
Breath tests are technical — and errors happen. A good lawyer knows where to look.

FAQs – Drunk Driving Charges in Windsor
Q: Is “drunk driving” the same as DUI or impaired driving?
Yes. The legal term in Canada is “impaired driving,” but people often say DUI or drunk driving. They’re treated the same under the law.
Q: I failed the breath test. Can I still fight the charge?
Absolutely. Breath tests can be challenged based on how and when they were administered — and whether proper procedure was followed.
Q: What happens if I refused the breathalyzer?
Refusing to provide a sample is a criminal offence with the same penalties as impaired driving — but there may be valid defences.
Q: Can I lose my licence right away?
Yes. In many provinces, your licence is suspended immediately upon being charged. But your lawyer may be able to challenge that suspension.
Q: Will I go to jail for a first offence?
Jail is rare for first-time drunk driving charges unless there are aggravating factors — but every case is different.
Q: What if I can't afford a lawyer?
Start with a free consultation. Many DUI lawyers offer fixed fees or payment plans.
