Uber, Lyft, SkipTheDishes drivers charged with impaired DUI over 80 in Canada

People work for companies like Uber and Lyft both driving people places and delivering food or other goods. These companies are quite strict about performing criminal record checks on their drivers as the last thing they want is to be associated with someone who drives drunk and causes an accident or injures themselves, their passenger, or any third party. They are liable to be sued civilly and lawsuits are something any company would prefer to not deal with.

For this reason companies like Uber, Lyft, Skip the Dishes, DoorDash etc. are very serious about who gets to work for them. They often will require a criminal record background check along with other measures to ensure people who work for them, or who they pay on a contractual basis, have no prior criminal record of any kind. This obviously includes impaired driving. Impaired driving in Ontario does not just include cars but any vehicle that is powered by anything other than human exertion.

This means someone could be charged for an impaired driving offence in Canada even if they are driving a scooter, electric bike, electric skateboard, segway, etc. which are often used by delivery drivers in Toronto to deliver food and other products.
