Frequently Asked Questions
Are traffic offences always criminal?
No. Many are provincial matters, but criminal driving offences can carry jail exposure and strict driving prohibitions.
Can I lose my licence even before trial?
Depending on the allegation and conditions, restrictions can apply early. Legal advice can help address those issues promptly.
Do these cases depend on police evidence?
Often yes, and that evidence must still be reliable, properly collected, and sufficient to meet the legal standard of proof.
Can a driving charge affect my job?
Yes. Many people face employment impacts where licences, insurance, or background checks are involved.
