Alberta IRS Warn Suspension Appeals

Have you received IRS Warn Sanctions under Alberta’s SafeRoads  program? It’s important to know your rights and appeal options. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to help you understand your situation and make informed decisions.

You only have 7 days to initiate an Alberta IRS Warn Suspension appeal from the date you received it. Do NOT pay the fine until after you speak to us. Paying the fine is an admission of guilt and forfeits your appeal rights.

 

Even if you are below the legal limit in Alberta (0.08 for standard licences), you can still receive IRS sanctions if you are suspected of having blood alcohol content of 0.05 to 0.08.

The warn sanction is as follows, depending on whether it is your first offense or subsequent offence…

  • An immediate suspension (3 to 30 days)

  • Seizure of your vehicle (3 to 7 days)

  • Fines of $300 to $1200 plus a 20% victim fine surcharge

  • Participation in an education course
