An impaired driving charge is fairly vague and can be based on how a prosecution witness explains your driving ability and physical state. It’s far less concrete than an over 80 charge.
From the smell of alcohol to bloodshot eyes, there are a number of characteristics that can be attributed to the accused.
You need a lawyer who’ll be stringent in cross-examination of both police and civilians to prove unreliability in testimonies and that they can’t prove within a reasonable doubt that you’re guilty of driving while impaired.

Exhibiting traditional indicia (i.e. indicators) of impairment are at the centre of strictly impaired driving prosecutions.
The most prevalent indicators are:
- The smell of alcohol from the driver
- Slurred speech of the driver
- Poor balance of the driver

These are confusing cases because of the abundance of impaired driving definitions in the criminal code.
