Disqualification from driving
['Driver licence classifications']

Driving while disqualified refers to an indictable offence if the accused is found driving a motor vehicle despite being served the driving disqualification via court orders, thereby violating the court’s orders. Usually, licence disqualifications will be followed by a conviction for a criminal felony like dangerous driving, impaired driving offence, or trying to escape from the authorities if you get disqualified from driving as a part of criminal sentencing. Driving while disqualified is also a type of offence that’s punishable on summary conviction. Driving while disqualified is an indictable offence that’s punishable under section 259 of the Canadian Criminal Code, resulting in a criminal record.
