Facing a DUI Licence Suspension in New Brunswick?

Impaired driving allegations in New Brunswick may result in immediate licence suspensions, administrative driving prohibitions, and additional penalties depending on the circumstances of the investigation.

Licence suspensions may arise following allegations involving:

  • impaired driving
  • over 80 offences
  • refusal to provide a breath sample
  • cannabis or drug-impaired driving
  • immediate roadside suspensions

For many individuals, losing driving privileges can affect employment, family responsibilities, travel, and daily life. Understanding the suspension process and possible next steps early may help individuals better prepare for what lies ahead.

We help connect individuals across New Brunswick with experienced DUI defence lawyers who understand the legal and procedural issues often involved in licence suspension cases.

Understanding DUI-Related Licence Suspensions

Licence suspensions in New Brunswick may occur during roadside investigations, after criminal charges are laid, or following court proceedings depending on the nature of the allegation.

These cases often involve legal and procedural issues related to:

  • roadside screening procedures
  • police investigations
  • breath testing evidence
  • refusal allegations
  • administrative penalties
  • disclosure of evidence
  • Charter rights protections

Depending on the circumstances, drivers may also face:

  • vehicle impoundments
  • ignition interlock requirements
  • increased insurance costs

Because every case depends on its own facts and surrounding circumstances, careful review of the investigation and allegations may become important in understanding possible legal options.
