Common Questions
Impaired driving questions Downtown Brampton clients often ask.
Can a short drive still lead to an impaired driving charge?
Yes. The issue is the evidence around operation, impairment, concentration, or refusal, not the length of the trip.
Can I drive if my vehicle is no longer impounded?
Only if your licence is valid and no suspension or prohibition prevents driving.
Should I speak to police again to explain?
Get legal advice before making any statement about the incident.
