Other Offences
A conviction for driving while impaired by alcohol and/or drugs is not the only scenario in which in which the MPA can be imposed. Many test subjects who have ridden a motorcycle under the influence or who regularly use drugs must present a favorable MPA opinion to the license-issuing agency by a certain deadline (usually several weeks after an incident) or face suspension of their driver's licenses. This justification for requiring an MPA opinion enables the government to suspend the licenses of many alcoholics who were not apprehended while driving drunk.
