Vehicle impoundment appeal dismissed as appellant had reasonable alternative transportation options available.
The appellant appealed the 45-day impoundment of her vehicle, which was seized when driven by a suspended driver.
She argued the impoundment caused exceptional hardship due to her and her husband's medical conditions and mobility issues.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that reasonable alternative transportation options were available, including her husband's vehicle, ride-sharing services, public transit, and assistance from friends.
As alternatives existed, the test for exceptional hardship under the Highway Traffic Act was not met.
