What about a 24hour roadside licence suspension? Would that require involvement by the CoC, or does it fall into the speeding ticket/parking ticket category?
For what offence?
From Transportation Directive 532 (TD 532), part of A-LM-158-005/AG-001 Transportation Manual:
TD 532
PROVINCIAL DRIVER’S LICENCE
SUSPENSIONS – MILITARY
Ref: DAOD 2007-0
1. This directive is to be read IAW
A-LM-158-005/AG-001. The following instructions are
in addition to the PDL suspension policy listed in
Chapter 5, Section 3.
2. CF members who are required to operate a
DND vehicle in the performance of their duties must
be in possession of a valid Driver Permit (DND 404).
3. CF members who are issued a DND 404
shall immediately report any suspension or
cancellation of their provincial driver’s licence to their
supervisor who in turn shall inform the TA. CF
members who have had their PDL suspended will
automatically lose their DND 404 for a period at least
equal to the period of suspension imposed by
provincial authorities, or a greater period if
necessary.
4. In addition to the above, the TA has the
authority to suspend a DND 404 at any time should
they or the service member’s CO consider such
action necessary in the interest of safe vehicle
operation.
5. Driving offence means a driving offence
under the Criminal Code of Canada, a Provincial
Highway Traffic Act or the National Defence Act.
6. In those cases where driving duties are a
requirement of their position, the member may face
career action. If the suspension of the DND 404
precludes the member from performing the member’s
duties, the CO will refer the case to NDHQ/D Mil C
for Career Review Board (CRB) consideration.
Depending upon the member’s Military Occupational
Structure Identification (MOSID) and individual
circumstances, the CRB may decide in favour of
retention (with or without restriction), reassignment,
or release. If the CRB decision is to retain the
member, the CO may reinstate the DND 404, once
the period of suspension has expired; if the driving
offence was alcohol or drug related, action in
accordance with HCFAO 19-21, Drug Abuse or
HCFAO 19-31, Misuse of Alcohol as applicable, shall
be considered.
7. Upon being convicted of a driving offence
resulting in a first suspension or restriction of a
provincial driver’s licence, or following an
administrative decision to suspend a CF member’s
DND 404, the CF member’s DND 404 shall be
suspended for a period equal to the suspension
awarded by provincial authorities. Additionally, the
following actions shall be taken:
a. The member’s chain of command shall take
appropriate administrative measures, which
may include: counselling and probation,
reassignment, demotion or a
recommendation for release.
b. The member shall be warned in writing of the
DND 404 suspension. A sample letter is
shown at Annex A.
8. Once the DND or civil imposed period of
suspension has expired, and the member is free from
all restrictions, (i.e., inter-lock condition), the CO may
reinstate the member’s DND 404 once the:
a. member’s unit has requested a Provincial
Driver Abstract and submitted it to the TA for
review;
b. member has successfully passed a written
Driver’s Information Test and Supplementary
Test;
c. member has successfully passed a practical
driving test; and
d. member has completed the Defensive
Driving Course.
SUSPENSION OF DND 404 FOR CARELESS
DRIVING
9. Immediately upon receipt of a report of a
collision or of an alleged incident of careless driving
on the part of a military member, the CO, after
considering the degree of negligence, and having
regard to the member’s driving record may:
a. pending completion of an investigation, order
a temporary suspension of the member’s
DND 404; and/or
b. upon completion of an investigation, direct
the permit issuing authority to suspend the
member’s DND 404.
SUBSEQUENT PDL SUSPENSION
10. Upon being convicted of a driving offence
resulting in a second suspension of the member’s
DND 404 or provincial driver’s licence, the following
action will be taken:
a. The member’s DND 404 shall be suspended
for life.
b. If the suspension of the DND 404 precludes
the member from performing the member’s
duties, the CO will refer the case to NDHQ/D
Mil C for CRB consideration. Depending
upon the member’s MOSID and individual
circumstances, the CRB may decide in
favour of retention (with or without
restriction), reassignment, or release.
c. If the driving offence was alcohol or drug
related, action in accordance with HCFAO
19-21, Drug Abuse or HCFAO 19-31, Misuse
of Alcohol as applicable, shall be considered.
