When you are charged with impaired driving, you will be subject to an automatic 90-day administrative driver’s license suspension, a seven-day impoundment of your vehicle with costly towing and impounding fees, $550 penalty fee, and $275 licence reinstatement fee.
If you are found guilty of impaired driving at trial, you would also face a mandatory minimum fine of $1000.00, as well as a 1-year license suspension if this is your first offence, followed by at least another year during which you can only drive in a vehicle equipped with an interlock device, which are costly to install and maintain, as well as increase in insurance cost. If there was an accident where someone got injured, or if this was not your first drinking and driving offence, those penalties increase significantly. If you are prosecuted by indictment and convicted of impaired driving, you may be liable to imprisonment not exceeding 5 years. If you are prosecuted by indictment and convicted of impaired driving causing bodily harm, you may be liable to imprisonment not exceeding 10 years.
