HURON FEEDING
SYSTEMS Drinking and driving is a serious problem. In Ontario, impaired
drivers cause thousands of traffic crashes every year. Drinking
drivers are responsible for one-quarter of all people killed on
Ontario roads. Drinking and driving hurts us all - through deaths,
injuries and personal tragedies, in addition to costs for health care,
emergency response and property damage.
Every year, more than 35,000 drivers are under suspension for
Criminal Code convictions in Ontario. It is estimated that 85% of
those corivictions are related to drinking and driving.
* In addition to drinking and driving, Criminal Code convictions
include criminal negligence causing bodily harm or death,
manslaughter, dangerous driving and failure to remain at the scene
of a collision.
Vehicle Impoundment
Under Ontario's Vehicle Impoundment Program, drivers who are
caught driving while their licence is suspended for a Criminal Code
conviction will have the vehicle they are driving impounded for a
minimum of 45 days.
Regardless of whether the vehicle is rented, leased or loaned to a
friend or family member, the vehicle will be impounded. The
vehicle owner will be liable for all towing and impoundment costs.

On-The-Spot Licence Suspension
Drivers who provide a sample over the legal limit
(.08) or refuse a breath test will have their driver's
licence suspended immediately for 90 days under
the Administrative Driver’s Licence Suspension
(ADLS) Program. This 90-day suspension is
separate and distinct from any criminal charges a
driver faces in court.
An impaired driving conviction under the Criminal
Code results in a suspension under the Highway
Traffic Act.
Longer Suspension Periods for Repeat
Offenders
Drivers who offend and are convicted of Criminal
Code driving-related offences since September 30,
1998, lose their driving privileges for:
• One year on a first conviction;
• Three years on a second conviction;
• Lifetime suspension on a third conviction which
can be reduced to 10 years if certain conditions
are met; and
• Lifetime suspension on a fourth conviction with
no possibility of ever having an Ontario driver's
licence again.
In addition, driving-related Criminal Code
convictions remain on a driver's record for at least
10 years. Drivers must be conviction free for 10
years before they will be considered to have a clean
driving record. This applies to convictions since
September 30, 1993.
YOU PAY THE PRICE
Stiffer Fines

face higher fines under the Highway Traffic Act that

licence reinstated. This fee does not apply to
medical suspensions or Administrative Driver's
Licence Suspensions.

condition, they face a 30-day licence suspension and
must pay a fine.
