The defendant was charged with driving a motor vehicle on a highway while his driver's licence was suspended, contrary to subsection 53(1) of the Highway Traffic Act.
The Crown alleged the defendant was driving his wife's pick-up truck from his residence to a casino parking lot on November 9, 2015.
The defence claimed the defendant's employee was driving and the defendant was a passenger.
The court found the defendant guilty after assessing credibility and applying the R. v. W.(D.) framework.
The defence evidence contained numerous inconsistencies regarding who was driving, the distance travelled, speeds, and the location of witnesses, rendering it unreliable.
The Crown's evidence from the police officer was straightforward and consistent.
