Driving While Prohibited in Ontario
Serious Charge • Criminal Record Risk • Protect Your Future
Serious Charge • Criminal Record Risk • Protect Your Future
Driving while prohibited is one of the most serious driving-related offences under the Criminal Code of Canada (s.320.18).
Unlike a Highway Traffic Act suspension, a prohibition is a court-ordered ban from driving, usually after a conviction for:
- Impaired driving (alcohol or drugs)
- Dangerous driving
- Failing to stop for police
- Other serious driving offences
If you’re caught driving while prohibited, you are facing a criminal record and the possibility of jail time.
Ontario Penalties for Driving While Prohibited
If convicted, you could face:
- First Offence: Up to 2 years in jail (summary conviction), licence prohibition, criminal record
- Indictable Offence: Up to 10 years in prison for serious cases
- Mandatory Licence Ban: At least 1 year, often much longer
- Additional Consequences: Travel restrictions, lifelong insurance problems, employment barriers
Important: This is not just a traffic ticket — it’s a criminal charge. Prosecutors and judges take it very seriously.
