What Is an IRS?

If you were pulled over and issued a Notice of Administrative Penalty (NAP), you may not have been criminally charged — but make no mistake: the consequences are serious.

IRS suspensions can result in:

• An immediate 90-day licence suspension

• Vehicle seizure

• Fines and other penalties

• A 12-month ignition interlock condition

These sanctions take effect quickly — and most people don’t even realize they have the right to fight back.

What Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act Says About IRS Suspensions

Under Section 88.1 to 88.92 of Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act, police have the authority to issue Immediate Roadside Sanctions (IRS) to drivers suspected of impaired driving — even if they’re not criminally charged.

If you blow over the legal limit, refuse a breath test, or fail a roadside sobriety test, police can issue a Notice of Administrative Penalty right then and there. This triggers:

• An immediate licence suspension

• Possible vehicle seizure

• Thousands in fines and administrative penalties

The law sets a strict 7-day deadline to appeal the sanction. If you miss it, your licence will be suspended — no exceptions.

👉 You only have 7 days to file for a review.

✅ Why This Matters

Alberta’s IRS program is administrative, not criminal — but the outcome can affect your life just as much.

If you don’t act fast:

• You could lose your licence for 3 months

• You could be forced to install an ignition interlock for a full year

• You’ll pay thousands in government penalties

• It could affect your job, your insurance, and your record

What’s Wrong With IRS Testing?

The roadside devices police use were never intended to provide a legally reliable blood alcohol reading. They're only designed for screening.

These devices can:

• Be defective

• Be improperly calibrated

• Give false results if misused by police

And here’s the bigger problem:

• The officer doesn’t need to go to court

• There’s no cross-examination

• You can lose your licence based on untested evidence

👉 Have your case reviewed by someone who knows what to look for. Call Vince today.
