The Ignition Interlock program provides individuals with early reinstatement of driving privileges after they have lost their driver’s licence for a drinking and driving offence. Additional information about Igniton Interlock can be found on SGI's website.
Who can appeal?
If you are affected by a decision made under the Ignition Interlock Program, you can appeal to the HTB.
What am I appealing?
You are appealing the extension of the ignition interlock period, the three-month suspension (if the device is removed before the end of the ignition interlock period) or SGI’s removal of the ignition interlock device. Please note that a termination that is initiated by Guardian Interlock Systems, the service provider, cannot be appealed to the HTB.
Filing an appeal
To file an appeal, send a letter to the HTB requesting an appeal, identifying the type of appeal you want to have heard and the reasons why you are appealing.
Once the HTB receives your letter and all other pertinent information (supporting documents), you will be contacted to arrange a date and time for the appeal hearing.
Driver’s licence appeal hearings are conducted in person and take place in Regina, Saskatoon or Prince Albert.
What to expect at the hearing
You will appear in-person before two Board members. The hearing is informal, scheduled during the day and will take approximately one hour of your time.
The Board members will:
- ask you questions regarding the action taken by SGI against your driver’s licence;
- determine whether you are suffering from exceptional hardship; and
- make a decision on what is in the public’s best interest.
Decisions
The HTB can either maintain or reverse SGI’s decision. After the hearing, a letter will be sent to you by mail within one week advising you of the HTB’s decision. Decisions reached by the HTB are final.
