A Nova Scotian man was convicted of impaired driving but the judge failed to inform him that conviction triggered automatic licence suspension. Stopped homeward, he faced a second charge for driving without a license and was acquitted due to his ignorance of the law. The piece cautions that ignorance is no excuse and notes the Code’s presumption that people should know the law, urging citizen responsibility.
