Yes, in Canada, you can be charged with a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) even if you weren’t driving or the vehicle wasn’t moving. The concept of “care or control” means that if you are found in a position where you have the potential to operate the vehicle while impaired, such as being in the driver’s seat with the keys in your possession, you can still be charged with impaired driving offences.
