The defendant was charged with Over 80. The criminal charge was withdrawn. Initially the Crown had intended to have the client prosecuted to the full extent of the law, however once he retained our office and we began to negotiate on his behalf, the Crown agreed to allow the client to plead to “careless driving” under the Highway Traffic Act. Although the option to continue driving with an ignition interlock device was made available to him, the client opted to have his license suspended for a year.
