Understanding Ontario’s DUI Laws: What You Need to Know if You’ve Been Arrested

What Counts as a DUI in Ontario?

You can be charged with impaired driving if alcohol or drugs affect your ability to operate a vehicle. This includes being over the legal blood alcohol limit of 0.08 or under the influence of substances like cannabis. Even if you’re under the limit, signs of impairment can still lead to charges.

What Happens Right After the Arrest?

Most DUI arrests lead to an immediate licence suspension and vehicle impoundment. These penalties can happen before your case even goes to court. We know this can feel overwhelming—we’re here to help you take control of the situation.

Your Rights Matter—Use Them

You have the right to remain silent and to speak with a lawyer. It’s critical to exercise both. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can protect your rights and begin preparing your defence.

The Penalties You Might Face

A conviction can mean heavy fines, licence suspension, higher insurance rates, or even jail. Repeat offences carry harsher consequences. We work to identify weaknesses in the Crown’s case to seek a reduction or dismissal.

We review every detail—police conduct, testing procedures, and the evidence collected. If your rights were violated, we take action immediately. Our goal is to secure the best possible outcome for your case.
