Driver's licence suspension upheld due to uncontrolled alcohol and substance use disorder.
The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend their Class G driver's licence under s. 47(1) of the Highway Traffic Act.
The suspension was based on medical reports indicating the appellant suffered from an uncontrolled alcohol and substance use disorder.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the medical evidence established the appellant had a substance use disorder that had not been adequately resolved.
Applying the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators Medical Standards for Drivers, the Tribunal concluded the condition was likely to significantly interfere with the appellant's ability to drive safely.
The appeal was dismissed and the licence suspension was confirmed.
