Immediate Licence Suspension
The police will give an ‘on-the-spot’ disqualification for the offences of DUI, exceed PCA (.08 or greater), refuse breath test or refuse blood test. This disqualification will usually be for the minimum period for the charge you are likely to face, which will be either 6 or 12 months. For example, if your blood alcohol reading was between .08 - .149, the usual disqualification period for a first offence is six months. A summons will be sent at a later date for you to appear in court to determine the actual penalty, including the length of disqualification and fine. The court will take the period of the on-the-spot disqualification into account when you are sentenced.
