One year before the end of the penalty period, we will send you another letter notifying you that you are required to take part in the program to assess and reduce the risk of impaired driving. You will be required to undergo either:

To undergo the assessment, you must register and pay the required fees to our partner in charge of carrying out such assessments.
The comprehensive assessment—which takes 7 to 9 months to complete—involves the implementation of a supervision plan. You will be required to meet the goals set with the assessment professional and to attend 3 mandatory meetings.
The maintenance assessment—which takes a few hours to complete—is to ensure that you do not present a risk of a repeat offence.
At the end of the assessment, the assessment professional writes a final report indicating whether you are capable of dissociating the consumption of alcohol, drugs or medication from the safe operation of a road vehicle. You will receive a copy of this report, which will also be sent to us so that we may render a decision.
We base our decision on the conclusions of the assessment report, your driving record and your state of health. You will receive our decision by mail.
You have 60 days to contest it.
