Alcohol-Impaired Driving Laws
In December 2018, new impaired driving laws came into effect to make our roads safer and to save lives.
The best practice is not to drink and drive. Call JUSTICEJOLT© for a Free Consultation.

New Impaired Driving Laws
Mandatory alcohol screening can only be used if you, as the driver, are in care and control of the vehicle, have been lawfully stopped, and if the police officer has the approved screening device at hand.
Can the Police stop you while driving if you haven’t done anything wrong?
Police have long had the power to stop drivers to check to see if they have a valid licence, if they are sober, and if their vehicle is roadworthy. They don’t need to see you do anything wrong.
Can the Police use mandatory alcohol screening to come to your house two hours after you arrive home and demand a breath sample?
For mandatory alcohol screening to be used:
The car must be lawfully stopped
You, as the driver, must be in care and control of the vehicle
The police officer must have the device at hand
Can you can beat an “at or over 80 mg” charge if you have several drinks right before driving, because the alcohol didn’t affect you until after you drove?
The new law covers this situation and you can be convicted if you have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or over 80 mg within two hours of driving. This change was made to address this type of risky and dangerous behaviour on our roads.

Impaired Driving Offence
Penalty for Impaired Driving
Impaired driving is the leading criminal cause of death and injury in Canada and this is unacceptable. In 2017, there were more than 69,000 impaired driving incidents reported by the police, including almost 3,500 drug-impaired driving incidents. In December 2018, new impaired driving laws came into effect to make our roads safer and to save lives.
If police determine that you have drugs or alcohol in your system and/or that you are impaired by any substance, you can face severe consequences and potential criminal charges.

I will recommend JUSTICEJOLT© to anyone who has received a Traffic Ticket and wants to fight it.
Hi Folks, I can’t thank you enough for you assistance in this matter. I am retired and have a great part time job driving customers to and from the dealership. It was important that I keep a great driving record. The JUSTICEJOLT© team put my mind at easy and always communicated in a prompt manner. The process off signing up and paying for the service were flawless online.
Thanks Again for everything.
I called JUSTICEJOLT© and spoke with one representative and she was wonderful. They are very helpful, honest and are efficient with their communications. The representative that I had really did get me the best outcome possible given my situation. I would definitely choose them over X-Copper. That amazing!! 10 stars out of 5! Thank you so much. Hopefully won’t need your services in the future, but if I do there will be no hesitation.
