A DUI (Driving Under the Influence) arrest refers to the act of operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or other substances that affect one's ability to drive safely. Impaired driving is a serious offense that not only endangers the life of the driver but also puts others on the road at risk.

In most jurisdictions, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08%. If a driver's BAC is found to be above this limit, they can be charged with a DUI. However, even a BAC below this level can lead to charges if the driver shows signs of impaired abilities. In addition to alcohol, drugs—both legal and illegal—can also impair driving, leading to charges of impaired driving or DUI.

Consequences of a DUI arrest can range from fines and license suspension to jail time, depending on the severity of the offense and whether it’s a repeat occurrence. A DUI conviction can have long-lasting effects, including increased insurance rates, difficulty finding employment, and restrictions on travel, especially to countries like the United States.

If you’ve been convicted of a DUI in Canada, obtaining a Pardon (now called a Record Suspension) or a US Waiver can help alleviate some of the legal barriers that follow.
