Reviewing the notice before the 7-day deadline

---

An Immediate Roadside Prohibition is an administrative licence suspension issued at the roadside. It is not a criminal charge, but the consequences begin unless a review is filed within 7 days.

A lawyer can review the notice, explain your options, and submit the application before the deadline.

Call Josh Krueger at (778) 902-8179 to discuss your IRP.

What Is an Immediate Roadside Prohibition?

After a roadside breath demand, police may issue a driving prohibition that takes effect immediately. The review is decided by RoadSafetyBC based on written evidence rather than a court hearing.

The prohibition can include a licence suspension, vehicle impoundment, driver programs, and reinstatement fees.

---

What To Do After Receiving an IRP

You have 7 days from the stop to apply for a review.
If no review is filed, the suspension proceeds automatically.

Before deciding how to proceed, a lawyer can examine the notice and determine whether grounds exist to challenge it.

Call (778) 902-8179 before the deadline passes.

How an IRP Appeal Works

The adjudicator reviews police records and written submissions.

A lawyer may obtain the officer’s report, examine the breath testing procedure, and prepare arguments based on the documentation.

The adjudicator then decides whether the prohibition remains in place.

A confirmed prohibition may involve:

• 90-day driving prohibition
• 30-day vehicle impoundment
• Responsible Driver Program
• Ignition Interlock Program
• Reinstatement fees and program costs

What the Review Looks At
