Reinstatement of your driver’s licence privileges as a result of an alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug related offence When you are convicted of an alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug related offence, your driver’s licence privileges suspension takes effect at that time. A Notice of Suspension will be sent to you by mail to the last recorded address on your driver’s licence. Make sure your driver’s licence has your current address. Suspensions remain in effect until all the conditions on the Notice of Suspension are met. This includes drivers who have left the province. Read your notice carefully to ensure you have met the conditions of your suspension. If you have not met the conditions of your suspension your driving privileges may not be reinstated. The Notice of Suspension will include all the conditions that must be met prior to reinstatement of your driving privileges. For an alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug related driving charge some of the conditions that you may have to meet are:
1. Attend a one-day driver program.
2. Attend a weekend driver program.
3. Participation in Alberta’s Ignition Interlock Program. You will also be required to pay the reinstatement fee and take a road test.Text extracted from the PDF for reference and may contain layout artefacts. The official PDF is authoritative.
