    What should you do right now if you\u2019re accused of impaired driving in Toronto?<\/h2>\n

    Take these three steps first:<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Comply with any lawful breath or blood demand.<\/b> Refusing is its own crime, and it carries a higher mandatory fine than a first impaired conviction.<\/li>\n
    2. Write down everything you remember about the stop as soon as you safely can. <\/b>Note what was said and done, and the rough times (the timing of demands and warnings can be central to your case).<\/li>\n
    3. Talk to a lawyer as soon as possible<\/b>. Do this before your first court date, even if you\u2019re released without being held.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Depending on the circumstances, your lawyer can work to prevent a criminal record.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
