Client was charged with impaired driving and willfully failing to provide a proper sample of her breath after she had been involved in a serious car accident. She had crossed into the oncoming lane and run head-on into a small car. Thankfully no one was hurt. Officers on scene observed that the client reeked of alcohol and was unsteady on her feet and slurring some of her words. Mr. van der Walle served the Crown with Notice of his argument that his client’s constitutional rights had been violated at the scene of the accident and later at the police detachment. The Crown agreed and accepted a plea to driving without due care and proceeded to drop both criminal charges. Client paid a small fine and kept her licence.
