The circumstances of the offence included impairment and excessive speed. Smallwood J considered the 2019 Bill C-46 amendments that increased the maximum penalty for the offence to life imprisonment. The circumstances of the offender included a related criminal record and an active driving prohibition, but also a guilty plea and Gladue factors. With regard to the latter, Smallwood J concluded that for Mr. Theriault, 45 at the time of sentencing, Gladue factors played a part in his criminal history and played a part in him coming before the courts. The Crown sought a sentence of six years for the dangerous driving causing death offence."(Quoting from R c Benjumea, 2022 ABQB 44 (CanLII)), au para 82 Find other summaries.

Mr. Bagri was a 45‑year‑old professional truck driver who conducted an inadequate brake check prior to a long downhill section of the roadway. Although the ensuing accident was caused by the excessive activation of his engine-retarding “Jake brakes” rather than by any brake failure per se, his conduct, including the perfunctory brake check and exceeding the posted speed limit during sections of the downhill drive, was regarded as evidence of overall intentional risk-taking carrying a high moral culpability resulting in the four deaths. His sentence of three years’ incarceration was upheld on the appeal."(Quoting from R c Edmiston, 2023 YKTC 24 (CanLII)), au para 122 Trouver des résumés de cas.

He was sentenced to five years’ incarceration and a 15‑year driving prohibition. Having been found guilty of both dangerous driving and criminal negligence causing death, the Court stayed the dangerous driving conviction and sentenced on the criminal negligence offence. Mr. Bhangal was therefore sentenced for an offence more serious than the index case. A clear aggravating factor found by the Court was the offender having deliberately doctored his logs to avoid his rest obligations for the purposes of placing his economic interests ahead of public safety."(Quoting from R c Edmiston, 2023 YKTC 24 (CanLII)), au para 120 Find other summaries.

R v Djema, 2016 QCCQ 17090 (CanLII), par J	QC	PC		"the Court of Quebec imposed a 20-month sentence of imprisonment on a charge of dangerous driving causing death and a 1-month consecutive sentence on a charge of breach of conditions. The offender pleaded guilty to both charges. [130] On the day of the offence, the offender was driving way above the speed limit on a street of Montreal (some 120 km/h in a 50 km/h zone) with three passengers in his car. To pass the vehicle ahead of him, the offender crossed the median line into the oncoming lane. A police cruiser facing the offender’s car had to brake abruptly to avoid a collision. The police cruiser attempted a U-turn to chase the offender but lost sight of him. The offender’s car then failed to stop at a traffic light and crashed into a cab. The impact caused the cab to skid over a distance and hit a signpost. The offender’s car continued its trajectory until it struck another vehicle. Surprisingly, the decision does not mention who passed away as a result of the offender’s dangerous driving. Four months later, the offender was intercepted at the wheel of his car despite a court-imposed bail condition prohibiting him from driving. He was given a ticket for driving in a manner dangerous to the public and was arrested for breach of conditions. [131] The offender was young and had no prior convictions. He had a driving record which included two offences for failure to stop at a stop sign. The PSR was positive and the risk of reoffending low. He fully acknowledged his responsibility and expressed sincere remorse. The Court considered the offender’s driving record and the regulatory offence committed four months after the tragic incident to be aggravating. The sentencing judge also took into account the extent of the offender’s recklessness on the day of the events and the fact that one of the passengers asked him to slow down prior to the collision. [132] The Court found that a 30-month sentence was appropriate on the charge of dangerous driving causing death but deducted a credit of 10 months for pre-sentence custody."

The offender was found guilty of both offences pursuant to a trial. [126] The offender drove at a speed of 100 km/h in a 50 km/h urban zone. He noticed that the vehicle ahead of his car was about to shift to the right. Instead of slowing down, the offender maintained his speed and bypassed the vehicle in front of him. In doing so, he crossed the median line into the oncoming lane. His car collided at high speed with the vehicle of the victim who at the time, was making an illegal U-turn. The victim died the next day as a result of the crash. The evidence demonstrated that she was impaired by alcohol at the time of the collision. Her friend, who was on the front passenger seat, lost consciousness and sustained a severe concussion. [127] The offender was 22 years old at the time of the offences. He had no criminal or driving record. He expressed remorse and shame for his conduct. The risk of reoffending was assessed as low. The offender was gainfully employed. The sentencing judge considered these factors and concluded that a penitentiary term – as sought by Crown counsel – was not warranted. The judge placed emphasis on the offender’s rehabilitation and favourable profile to justify the 12-month and 8-month sentences." appeal dismissed at 2016 QCCA 1397 Trouver des résumés de cas.

She had just turned 18 at the time of the offence. She pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death. The facts surrounding the offence can be summarized as follows. The offender, along with five friends, decided to go “car surfing”. The victim was riding on top of the moving vehicle driven by the offender. The vehicle was not speeding. The offender braked the car at a stop sign. The victim slid off the top of the car and hit her head on the pavement. She died four days later. She was 17 years old. [119] The offender was left traumatized by the events. She attempted suicide a year later. She was nevertheless able to maintain her employment. The Court found that the circumstances relating to the offence were less serious than in cases involving deliberate acts, such as excessive speeding or erratic driving. The offender’s conduct, although still criminal in nature, came closer to an accident. No alcohol or drugs were involved. The victim and her friends voluntarily participated in the “car surfing” activity. The Court considered the following mitigating factors in crafting the sentence: the guilty plea, the age of the offender, her psychological trauma, her compliance with strict bail conditions and her persistent feelings of remorse."

The sentences were respectively reduced to 3 years and 30 months. [113] The factual background of the case can be summarized as follows. The appellant, 36 years old at the time and working as a landscaper, went to two bars to celebrate a contract he had just landed. First, he asked an acquaintance to drive him home because he was inebriated. After she left, however, he decided to drive himself home in his pickup truck. The appellant’s driving was erratic and dangerous. He switched lanes many times at high speed (120 km/h in a 70 km/h zone). He then crashed violently into the rear of the victim’s car – a small Ford Focus – which was stopped at a red light. The pickup truck demolished the back of the victim’s car, its front bumper pushing all the way into her seat. The impact was so forceful that it propelled the Ford Focus to the other side of the intersection. [114] The police officers at the scene observed that the appellant's breath smelled strongly of alcohol, that he had trouble speaking, that his mouth was pasty, and that his gait was unsteady. The breathalyzer test revealed 160 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, twice the legal limit. The victim, a 22-year-old woman, was taken to hospital, unconscious. She sustained severe head trauma that caused her brain to swell. She died 17 days later. [115] The appellant pleaded guilty to both charges (impaired and dangerous driving causing death). He accepted full responsibility for the victim’s death. He had no criminal record, and his driving record indicated no demerit points. The PSR was positive. The risk of reoffending was low. The appellant stopped drinking alcohol after the events. He read a letter addressed to the victim’s parents and expressed genuine remorse. [116] The Court found that the sentencing judge assigned undue weight to the aggravating circumstances and erred in finding that they were predominant. While the sentencing judge acknowledged the existence of mitigating factors, he focused exclusively on the gravity of the offence. He tailored sentences that sought solely to fulfill the objectives of denunciation and general deterrence. [117] The Court emphasized that denunciation and general deterrence can be achieved without the imposition of increasingly harsh prison sentences. It noted that a penitentiary sentence is dissuasive and sufficient in itself to denounce the crime and deter an ordinary person from committing it.[47] The Court held that the 5 and 3-years concurrent sentences substantially departed from sentences customarily handed down for similar crimes committed by offenders with essentially the same characteristics as the appellant."

R v Dupuis, 2010 QCCA 1121 (CanLII), par J	QC	CA		"the offender was found guilty after trial of dangerous driving causing death. He was sentenced to 90 days of imprisonment to be served intermittently, along with a 2-year driving prohibition. [134] On the day of the events, the offender was driving his road truck slightly beyond the speed limit (62 km/h in a 50 km/h zone). He failed to stop at a yellow light about to turn red and struck the victim’s vehicle. The impact caused the victim’s vehicle to hit another truck parked on the street. The victim died instantaneously. [135] The offender was 24 years old. He had no criminal record. He was gainfully employed. Witnesses at the sentencing hearing described him as a model employee and dedicated father. Few months before the events, the offender experienced a traumatic situation. A man committed suicide by throwing himself under his truck. The offender had to take a leave of absence due to a post-traumatic stress disorder. He only returned to work shortly before the events. Experts concluded that the offender’s judgment on the day of the events was still affected by his earlier traumatic experience. The offender stopped working as a truck driver after the incident. He attended therapy sessions to help him cope with his psychological distress. He showed extreme remorse. He wrote a poignant excuse letter to the relatives of the victim. The judicial process had a deterrent effect on him. [136] The Court recognized the importance of denunciation and deterrence in sentencing for dangerous driving causing death. Relying on the case of Silbande, the judge stated that the applicable range of sentences is usually between 12 months to 3 years of incarceration. The judge pointed out that courts have also imposed lenient sentences outside the applicable range, including intermittent jail sentences. [137] The offence was very serious. However, the Court cautioned against imposing disproportionate sentences on the sole basis of denunciation and deterrence. The sentencing judge found that the mitigating factors far outweighed the aggravating factors. According to him, the offender had an exemplary profile and the risk of reoffending was low, in particular with respect to driving offences. There was convincing evidence of rehabilitation. The judge believed that society would not benefit in any way from a long term of incarceration. [138] Regarding the circumstances of the offence, the sentencing judge noted that the offender did not drive erratically or at excessive speed for an extended period of time. This was not a case of “road rage” or “car racing”. No alcohol or drugs were involved. Such aggravating factors were not present in the case. " Trouver des résumés de cas.

R v Ferland, 2009 QCCA 1168 (CanLII), par J	QC	CA		"the Quebec Court of Appeal upheld a 42-month concurrent sentence of incarceration to the appellant who pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death and to dangerous driving causing bodily harm. The appellant drove in pouring rain at an excessive speed of 160 km/h on a two-way highway. While attempting to pass a tractor trailer, his car skidded on the wet surface of the road (hydroplaning) and crashed into a car on the oncoming lane. The crash caused the death of a 56-years old woman and serious injuries to her a 4-year-old grandson. [109] The appellant sustained multiple fractures and was left unable to work. He was 32 years old at the time. He had one prior conviction of impaired driving (when he was 21 years old). He showed sincere remorse. The PSR was positive. The risk of reoffending was assessed as low. [110] In its analysis, the Court referred to its earlier decision in Houle v. R.[42] In this case, it was held that sentences of 4 years or more for driving offences causing bodily harm or death are at the higher end of the spectrum (“une catégorie singularisée”).[43] Such sentences are usually – but not always – reserved to persons who have a prior record for driving-related offences. The Court in Ferland went on to review four other appellate decisions... [111] In upholding the 42-month sentence, the Court considered the markedly reckless behaviour of the appellant (a mature middle-aged man), his prior driving-related conviction, the tragic consequences of the collision and its lasting effects on the surviving child and his family members.

Again, as I have noted earlier in these reasons, the sentencing judge found Mr. Gratton to be impaired by alcohol. There were few other aggravating factors: there was no related criminal or other record, and the dangerousness of the driving pattern was, relative to that of Mr. Benjumea, quite minimal. Undoubtedly the absence of a mitigating guilty plea and the proven impairment, together with multiple deaths, contributed to the 7-year sentence."

2000
R v Proulx, 2000 SCC 5 (CanLII), [2000] 1 SCR 61	Fed	SCC		"the Supreme Court restored an 18-month concurrent sentence of incarceration to the offender, an 18-year-old first-time offender, who pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death and to dangerous driving causing bodily harm. The offender, who had only seven weeks of experience as a licensed driver, decided to drive his friends home even tough he knew that his vehicle was not mechanically sound. For a period of 10 to 20 minutes, the offender drove erratically, weaving in and out of traffic, tailgating and trying to pass other vehicles without signalling. While attempting to pass another vehicle, he drove his car into oncoming traffic, side-swiped a first car and crashed into a second. The driver of the second car was seriously injured while a passenger in the offender’s car was killed. The offender was in a near-death coma for some time but ultimately recovered from his injuries. By the time of sentencing, he was employed and expecting a first child with his girlfriend. [107] While the offender had been sentenced to 18 months of incarceration, the Quebec Court of Appeal overturned the sentence and imposed an 18-month conditional sentence order. In restoring the 18-month sentence of incarceration, the Supreme Court took into consideration the seriousness of the offences and their consequences. Furthermore, the Court stated that heavy sentences for driving offences plausibly provide general deterrence. Lamer C.J. writing for the Court might have found – had he been the trial judge – that a conditional sentence would have been appropriate in this case given the young age of the offender, his lack of a prior record, the extent of his injuries and his complete rehabilitation."

1998
R v Sidhu, 1998 CanLII 4383 (BC CA), par Prowse JA	BC	CA	18 months	"the court gives us an update on how these offences should be dealt with in this Province. The case is also a very helpful review of some of the cases in the area. In Sidhu the accused vehicle crossed the centre line and collided with the motor cycle of the victim. He left the victim on an almost deserted highway where there was a strong possibility that no one would come to his aid. The trial judge imposed a sentence of nine months imprisonment. The Court of Appeal upheld the sentence."
R v Newman, 1998 CanLII 4859 (BC CA), par McEachern CJ	BC	CA	2 ans moins un jour d'ordonnances de sursis	"the accused was convicted of dangerous driving causing death and sentenced to two years less one day in jail, together with an eight year driving prohibition. The trial judge held that a period of incarceration was not necessary to deter the accused from committing further offences or for his rehabilitation. He concluded, however, that the factors of denunciation and general deterrence could not be met other than by a sentence of imprisonment. The accused drove his car at excessive speed through an intersection which he did not realized was marked with a stop sign, and he struck another vehicle, thereby killing the driver. He had a motor vehicle record which included six prior speeding violations. There was no suggestion that he had been drinking at the time of the offence, and his background was otherwise exemplary. The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal and substituted a conditional sentence for two years less one day."
R v Pawa, 1998 CanLII 4220 (BC CA), par Esson JA	BC	CA		"the accused was on a heavily travelled street in Vancouver at 12:30 p.m when he struck and killed a pedestrian in a crosswalk while passing to the right of another vehicle which had stopped to allow the pedestrian to cross. The accused left the scene without stopping. His driving record included several speeding offences, and he was driving while prohibited at the time the accident occurred. At trial the accused was sentenced to four months conditional sentence of imprisonment for dangerous driving causing death and a $1,000.00 fine for “hit and run”. On appeal the court of Appeal allowed the sentence by increasing it to nine months for the dangerous driving charge and three months consecutive for the “hit and run”. The appeal court did not interfere with the trial judge’s decision that the sentence should be served in the community, but added more stringent conditions to the conditional sentence order, including a provision for “house arrest”."
