Practice question

What is the maximum penalty for driving while disqualified under the Criminal Code of Canada?

  1. Fine of $1,000
  2. Fine of $2,000 and up to two years in jail
  3. 1 year in jail
  4. 3 years prohibition from operating a motor vehicle

Answer: B — Fine of $2,000 and up to two years in jail

Driving while disqualified is a serious offense and carries a maximum penalty of a $2,000 fine and up to two years in jail, as well as a potential longer term of probation. Option A is incorrect because the maximum fine for this offense is actually $5,000. Option C is incorrect because the maximum jail sentence for this offense is actually 5 years. Option D is incorrect because while a 3 year prohibition from operating a motor vehicle may be part of the sentence, it is not the maximum penalty for driving while disqualified.
