What is Impaired Driving?
It is one of the several criminal driving charges that can be filed against drivers. The charges are laid when the police believe that you have operated a vehicle under the influence of intoxicating substances (drugs or alcohol) to such a degree that it has affected your ability to drive safely. If you or someone you know are in legal trouble, schedule a consultation with one of the best Impaired Driving Lawyers in Kelowna.
Defences to Impaired Driving Charges in Kelowna

- Violation of constitutional rights: Before arresting, police will set your rights as per the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In case the police fail to abide by these rights, your Impaired Driving Lawyer in Kelowna can make sure it helps you in your defence.
- Involuntary intoxication: If you didn't voluntarily consume alcohol or other intoxicating substances, or you were drugged without your knowledge, our team of lawyers can take this and challenge the mental element of the offence.
