Auto theft suspension changes extend penalties in Manitoba
Changes to auto theft suspensions replace the five year look back and add penalties to existing codes. First conviction carries a five year suspension affecting under eighteens until age 21 for licence tests while second and third convictions carry ten years and lifetime suspensions respectively. Manitoba cites high costs of theft with deaths and injuries and notes HTA changes support broader impaired driving strategies.
