Losing Your Driver’s Licence Is Automatic
Getting It Back Is Not

Most drunk drivers convicted in Nova Scotia will get their licence back
....but only after completing the Driving While Impaired program.


Impaired driving is the largest criminal cause of death in Canada. It’s not just dangerous, it’s against the law. And the consequences are severe.

If convicted, your driver’s licence is automatically suspended for at least one year – even for a first time offence.

We have created some new materials that give you the facts about the program.
