SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This purpose of this enactment is to allow a judge, in sentencing a
person for an impaired driving offence, to suspend part of any fine,
imprisonment, prohibition or probation order if the offender undertakes
to install an alcohol-sensing ignition control on every motor vehicle the
offender operates. Failure to comply with the undertaking would
re-activate the suspended part. The court may also make such
installation a condition of a probation order.

|
The option would be available only in provinces that have legislated
provisions for such devices, and thus gives Criminal Code recognition
and support for provincial initiatives.
