Vehicle impoundment appeal dismissed; appellant failed to prove exceptional hardship or lack of transportation alternatives.
The appellant appealed the 45-day impoundment of his vehicle, which was seized after his son was caught driving it while suspended.
The appellant argued exceptional hardship, claiming he needed the vehicle to assist his daughter-in-law with childcare and could not use public transit due to health issues.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the appellant failed to prove there were no reasonable alternatives to the impounded vehicle, noting he owned a second vehicle and lacked medical evidence to support his claims of physical inability to use transit.
