Changes to the Ontario Road Safety Act that will allow police to impound vehicles for a longer list of offences will kick in Dec. 1.
The seven-day vehicle impoundment will now apply to motorists driving with a suspended licence, being over .08 alcohol level in the blood, refusing to provide a breath sample or not having a required ignition lock device.
It will include drivers whose licences have been suspended for not making family support payments.
The changes were included in amendments to the act in 2009.
Motorists in Ontario can already lose their vehicles and licences for seven days if they are charged under the province's stunt driving law.
