Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 71 If the device is removed before the ignition interlock period is completed, your special restricted driver's licence will be revoked and you will be suspended until you re-install the ignition interlock device. In addition to completing the ignition interlock period, the last 3 months must be free of any alcohol infractions or program violations. If you do not have 3 violation-free months at the end of the ignition interlock period, the ignition interlock period will be extended 3 months from the expected removal date and continue to be extended for an additional 3 months each time there are serious violations recorded. If the device is removed before the successful completion of the program, your driver's licence will be suspended from the expected removal date. If you receive a tampering violation at any time during your ignition interlock term, the ignition interlock period will be extended 3 months from the expected removal date and continue to be extended for an additional 3 months or more each time there are tampering violations recorded in the device. Footnotes 1. Ignition interlock term does not include the suspension prior to installing the ignition interlock device. You must have the device installed for the total ignition interlock terms in order to have your driving privileges reinstated. The start date of your ignition interlock term is the day you install the device. 2. For Criminal Code convictions you must serve the court-ordered or provincial requirement period before an interlock can be installed, whichever is greater. The judge can increase this period on the court order. The provincial requirement is: 1st offence - 3 months 2nd offence - 6 months 3rd offence - 12 months Learn more at www.sgi.sk.ca DRINKING, DRUGSAND DRIVING CONSEQUENCES CONTINUED Crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs are the leading criminal cause of death in Canada.
