Manitoba Government Marks International Day of Persons with Disabilities December 3, 2024 – The Manitoba government is joining people around the world to celebration International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine, minister responsible for accessibility, announced today.
A lifetime licence suspension is imposed on a person who is convicted of two such offences committed within a 10-year period.
Additionally, a person who is convicted of such an offence is prohibited from driving with any alcohol in their blood for a 7-year period. A second conviction for such an offence results in a lifetime prohibition if the second offence is committed within 10 years after the first one. Unlike the licence suspension period, the alcohol prohibition period cannot be varied by the Licence Suspension Appeal Board.
A person who drives with alcohol in their blood while prohibited from doing so is subject to having their licence suspended and their vehicle impounded. The person might also be required to pay an administrative penalty or to participate in an impaired driving assessment or the ignition-interlock program.
An amendment is also made to The Drivers and Vehicles Act.
The Manitoba Law Library would like to acknowledge with gratitude that we are situated on Treaty One Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
