Vancouver Lawyer David Karp Helps Those charged with Driving Prohibition

What is an Immediate Roadside Prohibition?

According to a fact sheet issued by the Government of British Columbia, an Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) is a driving prohibition issued to alcohol-affected drivers under the Motor Vehicle Act due to drinking and driving with blood alcohol concentrations of 50 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood (50mg% or 0.05 BAC) and above.

A police officer will issue an IRP Notice of Driving Prohibition when a driver has care or control of a motor vehicle, and following a demand to provide a breath sample on an approved screening device: if the driver has a blood alcohol concentration over 0.05% BAC (the “Warn” range) if the driver has a blood alcohol concentration over 0.08% BAC (the “Fail” range) if the driver fails or refuses to comply with a breath test without a reasonable excuse.See the fact sheet below for more information:

While an IRP is not a criminal charge, it carries a possible 90 day driving prohibition, being forced to have the interlock ignition device put in your vehicle as well as being forced to take an online responsible driving program.

If you have been charged with an Immediate Roadside Prohibition, please call Vancouver lawyer, David Karp. David has successfully appealed Immediate Roadside Prohibitions for clients.

“The good news with police issuing Immediate Roadside Prohibitions is that there is no criminal record. The bad news is that you lose your license immediately as well as being subject to certain conditions. You are entitled to appeal this prohibition and getting an experienced lawyer like myself to look at the legal issues is paramount. I have a successful track record in overturning these prohibitions and am available to discuss your case through an initial free consultation.” – David Karp

When your child is charged with a crime there are a lot of overwhelming emotions, the most powerful of which is fear. David helped calm our fear with his confidence, competence, and assurances he would do whatever he could to help. David was clear with us on worst-case scenarios and also presented an approach with the best possible outcome as the objective. His billing practice meant we knew exactly what his help would cost upfront with no surprises down the line and no extra costs for consultation throughout the process. The outcome was even better than we could have hoped; a conditional discharge. We cannot imagine going through this situation without David’s expertise and knowledge. He gave us peace of mind through one of the most challenging situations our family has faced.

David Karp is the first and only lawyer I have ever had to work with to settle a legal issue and he is by far the best person for the job. He thinks from an empathetic mind and he relates to the individual and makes sure that he considers all his clients views and all possible outcomes. When my legal issue came to being in court he made me feel confident and reassured me that everything was going to be okay. I got a conditional discharge but where I was most satisfied was how he made me feel secure and never made me feel scared about a criminal record. If you need a lawyer for your criminal charge, go see David Karp as he is the best lawyer in Vancouver and I will only recommend people who need a lawyer to Mr Karp.

Dave Karp saved the day and helped me through a very tough situation. I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone who needs expert legal assistance. Thanks Dave!!!

Saved the Day
N.G.
I am a Canadian born, Caucasian mother of 4 wonderful children. A decade ago, I was wrongfully accused of crimes by the Crown and I faced 30 years in prison.

Dave listened to my story, read volumes of Crown Disclosure and heard the testimonies of 31 witnesses. Dave clearly realized that I was innocent and was able to convey this knowledge and information to the Justice in a concise and thoughtful manner.

I received a full acquittal based on merit and Mr. Karp proved that the Crown had absolutely no evidence against me. It’s a bittersweet win because I have personally lost so much due to the Crowns 10 year delay and the malicious actions of the Crown.

I would recommend Dave Karp to anybody seeking justice.

Dave was a great friend and true listener when I needed support in a case that needed professional direction – he was paramount to the success of the negotiations with the other party and really stepped up the presence when I truly needed the best. He came through for me and performed to the very highest standard and for Dave I’ll be always grateful.

Very Highest Standards

We had a family member facing serious drug trafficking charges of cocaine and heroin. We were referred to Mr. Karp and hired him. After lengthy negotiations with Crown all charges were dismissed, due to research pointing to charter breeches.
