Driving While Disqualified

Driving while Disqualified is the criminal offence of driving while suspended against the Criminal Code of Canada.

These driving prohibitions are the result of a criminal code conviction where a Judge or statue ordered a driving licence suspension. For example the accused was found guilty of an impaired driving, or dangerous driving offence.

The accused is under a court ordered suspension or prohibition not to drive a motor vehicle anywhere in Canada. The prohibition includes any motor vehicle powered by any type of engine, including electrical. This licence suspension includes tractors, heavy equipment or machinery operated anywhere in Canada including on private property.

If found driving the accused will be arrested, and the police may seize the motor vehicle. The accused will be required to appear in court before a Provincial Court Judge, usually the accused will have to have a "show cause hearing" to release them from custody.

The penalty for this offence is a period of custody/jail as the court will view the offence as one where the accused directly disobeyed a judge's order. Usually these suspensions are for one year to a life time suspension.
