Driving While Disqualified Lawyer

While it may seem minor, driving while disqualified is considered a criminal offence in Saskatchewan. Because this an easy charge to prove that can come with harsh penalties, you should contact a criminal defence lawyer as soon as you can. We understand the stress that comes with facing these charges. We will ensure your rights are protected and you get the best possible outcome.
If you lose your driver's licence for any reason, you can't legally drive until it's reinstated. That means that if the police pull you over and find out you have no valid driver's licence, they will arrest and charge you. If caught driving while disqualified, you will face penalties under Saskatchewan's Traffic Safety Act and, depending on the situation, the Criminal Code of Canada. Under the Traffic Safety Act, your vehicle will be impounded for 30 days, you will be further disqualified from driving, and any insurance claims with SGI will be denied. Under the Criminal Code, you could face a $5000 fine and/or up to 5 years in prison, depending on your case.
