Often a driving prohibition is a result of being convicted of a traffic offence such as DUI, impaired driving, dangerous driving or as a result of too many points, to name a few.

A Driving While Prohibited Conviction May Result In Hardship

Driving prohibitions can be a very, very difficult situation and can cause serious hardship on you and your family. If your job, family, or livelihood responsibilities require that you drive, being prohibited from driving can seem impossible.

Being charged with driving while prohibited can happen to anyone under a driving prohibition. Being convicted of driving while prohibited, regardless of the reason for the prohibition, will result in a criminal record. This could be an additional item on your record, or a first time conviction.

Section 259 of the Criminal Code of Canada sets out for what criminal convictions and for how long driving prohibitions can be imposed. Section 259 also sets out that it is also a criminal offence for driving while prohibited. The maximum sentence for driving while prohibited is five years in jail.
