Driver's licence suspension confirmed due to unaddressed substance use disorder following an alcohol withdrawal seizure.
The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence under section 47(1) of the Highway Traffic Act.
The suspension followed an unsolicited Medical Condition Report from an emergency room physician indicating the appellant suffered an alcohol withdrawal seizure.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant suffered from an unaddressed substance use disorder that was likely to significantly interfere with his ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.
The appeal was dismissed and the licence suspension was confirmed.
