I have been given a 3-day, 7-day or 30-day licence suspension and the officer did not even use a screening device. What can I do?
A- If a police officer served you with a 3-day, 7-day or 30-day licence suspension under section 215 of the Motor Vehicle Act because s/he believed your ability to operate a motor vehicle was affected by alcohol, and the police officer did not use any kind of a device to determine your blood alcohol concentration, you have the right to “immediately” request for an opportunity to provide a breath sample as long as you do so after the officer hands you the driving prohibition. The legislation does not require the officer to tell you about your right to request this test. If this sounds unfair to you, it is.
