Criminal Code : Section 320.18
Driving while prohibited
Overview
The offense of driving while prohibited, as outlined in section 320.18 of the Criminal Code, applies to anyone driving a vehicle while under a legal driving prohibition. This prohibition may result from a previous conviction for impaired driving, a license suspension, or other traffic safety-related offenses. Driving in violation of this prohibition is a serious offense, carrying severe penalties. Authorities take this offense very seriously, as it endangers public safety and demonstrates a disregard for the law.
Legal Consequences
A conviction for a driving-related offense generally results in a driving prohibition order, often for at least one year, as in the case of a first conviction for impaired driving. Driving during this prohibition exposes one to serious criminal charges and severe penalties. However, a person enrolled in an ignition interlock program and complying with the conditions of this program is not violating the law by driving, allowing them to regain the right to drive while ensuring road safety.
