Suspensions
Suspensions
In Alberta, your license can be suspended for a number of reasons.
For example, you could be legally suspended for your driving behavior or, you could also be suspended for medical reasons as well.
It is illegal to drive with a suspended license and if caught doing so, you can face fines, vehicle impound, and additional suspensions.
Categories
Four Categories of Suspension
Here are four categories which you may find yourself fitting into. Each category is scenario specific so please phone in if you need help.
Ignition Interlock Program
The Ignition Interlock Program allows drivers who have a DUI (driving under the influence) conviction to drive with limited conditions.
Please phone our office for more information.
