If you have been served with a roadside prohibition, you need to act quickly to keep your licence and avoid costly and significant penalties. In British Columbia, strict deadlines apply to dispute an Immediate Roadside Prohibition, and waiting too long can limit your options. If you are facing a criminal impaired driving charge, the consequences are even more serious and may include a criminal record, a mandatory minimum fine, and a 1-year driving prohibition.
Both IRP and impaired driving cases can turn on technical and fact-specific defences, including issues with the stop, the breath demand, the timing of the tests, the reliability of the result, or whether the police complied with the required process. The right defence depends entirely on the circumstances of your case. An experienced lawyer can review the evidence with you and assess what defences may be available.
