For how long may you not drive a school bus if your driver's license has been under suspension for a Criminal Code of Canada offence?

When a driver's license has been suspended due to a Criminal Code of Canada offence, there are specific regulations regarding the operation of a school bus. In this case, an individual is prohibited from driving a school bus for a duration of 12 months following the suspension. This policy is established to ensure that individuals who have committed serious offences, indicating a potential risk to safety, are not in charge of transporting children.

The 12-month timeframe reflects a balance between allowing drivers the opportunity to regain their driving privileges and ensuring public safety, particularly when it involves the transportation of minors. This extended period also serves as a deterrent for potential offenders, emphasizing the severity of the implications associated with driving suspensions due to criminal behaviour.
