DEALING WITH DRINKING AND DRIVING – THE IMMEDIATE ROADSIDE SUSPENSION (IRS) – Instead of charging a criminal offence (which you have an opportunity to defend) the program authorizes police to immediately impose license suspensions and other penalties at the roadside. The administratively imposed penalties include a 15-month licence suspension, a 30-day vehicle impoundment, increased fines, ignition interlock requirements and remedial education requirements.
