IMPAIRED DRIVING

DRIVING WITHOUT DUE CARE & ATTENTION

The British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act defines careless driving as operating a motor vehicle without exercising attention and consideration for road conditions and other drivers. Penalties range from minor traffic fines to license suspensions to jail time depending on the situation.

Given the high level of technicality in these cases, effective defence strategies exist to counteract the prosecution. Strong consideration must be given to driver knowledge, the actions of the officer, and the true nature of the road conditions at the time. David Baker’s strong negotiating skills have made him highly successful in defending clients accused of this offense.

DANGEROUS DRIVING

A criminal charge of dangerous driving relates to offenses where individuals are accused of driving in a manner knowingly dangerous to the public, or as a marked departure from the standard of driving expected from a reasonable person. Dangerous driving offenses carry serious legal ramifications in terms of liability and driver licensing.

Like most driving offenses, a dangerous driving conviction bears significant consequences to the future of the accused. As such, seeking experienced defence guidance is vital to ensuring a favourable legal outcome. David Baker provides free initial consultations and aggressive defence services to those involved with dangerous driving charges.
