• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

• Drive vehicle with cannabis readily available

• Driver fail to surrender licence

The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on July 7, 2022, to answer to the charges. In addition to having to attend court, the involved vehicle was impounded for seven days and the driver’s licence was suspended for a period of 90 days.

Whether you are impaired by alcohol or drugs, impaired is impaired and driving under the influence of either is a criminal offence. If you plan on drinking or consuming drugs, plan to not drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another plan that takes impaired driving out of the picture.
