Westgate impaired driving defence should account for work schedules, family transportation, licence suspension, vehicle impoundment, testing timelines, insurance consequences, and immigration or travel concerns.
Stop details should be recorded early
Location, timing, observations, demand wording, testing steps, video, and counsel access may matter when disclosure is reviewed.
