You must take immediate action to challenge your Immediate Roadside Prohibition or Suspension (IRS)

Many Alberta drivers mistakenly believe their IRS case is hopeless and choose not to file for an appeal. However, most IRS defences are not obvious—there may be grounds for a successful appeal you aren’t aware of.

About Alberta's IRS laws.

Many Canadian provinces have enacted “roadside suspension” legislation. This legislation is in addition to the existing impaired driving or DUI legislation found in the Criminal Code.

These new laws allow the police to seize your driver’s licence and your vehicle if you fail an alcohol breath test on an Approved Screening Device.

The law allows the police to:

    Seize your driver’s licence at the roadside. Prohibit you from driving for up to 90 days. Impound your vehicle.

These consequences are immediate and severe, and in many cases, they rely on unchallenged and untested evidence. You need help, and you need it now.

Can you fight an IRS?

    Applying for review is your best move. Your review application is filled out correctly, and it provides all the relevant information. You get the best possible result from your review.   

Vince Semenuk can help you understand the problems with IRS laws in Alberta

The Device used by police officers to perform roadside breath tests was never intended to positively determine blood alcohol levels. It was only intended to provide approximate readings for screening purposes.

These Devices can provide unreliable results for any number of reasons, including:

    They may be defective, Improper calibration may produce inaccurate readings, and Improper handling or use by police officers can produce false readings.

In other words, the devices are not perfect, and neither are the police officers who use them.

(PROVINCE) IRP/IRS legislation allows police officers to take a sample of your breath and submit their report of the results to the provincial driving licence authorities. Unlike when they charge someone criminally for impaired driving, the police officer who takes the breath sample is not required to attend court and submit to cross-examination by the lawyer representing the accused.

Under this new driving legislation, police officers can use the relatively flimsy evidence provided by a roadside breath sample to impose severe consequences on drivers without scrutiny and with no system in place to ensure that the Approved Screening Device was functioning properly or that the police officers were doing their jobs properly.
