    Episode 405: Challenging Mandatory Breath Testing and the High Bar for Withdrawing Guilty Pleas

    Play Episode Listen Later May 30, 2025 27:40


    This week on Driving Law, Kyla and Paul examine two compelling legal stories from British Columbia and Saskatchewan. First, they explore a BC Supreme Court case involving a man who paid a speeding ticket after receiving misleading information from ICBC—only to later lose his license due to accumulated penalty points. Kyla and Paul unpack why his attempt to withdraw his guilty plea failed, and how different legal arguments, including officially induced error, might have changed the outcome. Next, they analyze a landmark constitutional challenge to Canada's mandatory alcohol screening laws. The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal upheld the controversial law under Section 1 of the Charter, despite finding that it infringed on drivers' rights under Section 8. Kyla and Paul discuss the reasoning behind the majority decision, the sharp dissent warning of potential abuse, and whether this case might head to the Supreme Court of Canada.

    Episode 404: Cyclists, Sentencing, and the Fake News Fueling Driving Law Panic

    This week on Driving Law, Kyla and Paul unpack the backlash Kyla faced after explaining a cyclist's legal obligations in a Global News story. What began as a simple clarification of BC's Motor Vehicle Act sparked outrage and personal attacks—highlighting the rising hostility toward legal discourse online. They then examine a tragic Surrey case where a man was fatally run over and dragged by a Mustang. Two young men face sentencing, including the car's owner who wasn't driving. Kyla and Paul explore the unusual legal arguments and the broader implications for driving offences. Finally, they debunk a viral fake news story claiming Canada is banning hands-free calls, eating, and adjusting dials while driving. Kyla explains why these alleged federal rules are impossible under Canada's constitutional division of powers.

    This week on Driving Law, Kyla and Paul review two BC Supreme Court cases that highlight the risks of representing yourself in traffic court. First, they unpack the failed appeal of a driver who claimed he was interacting with his truck's console—not a phone—when ticketed for distracted driving, and how a lack of courtroom experience undermined his defence. Then, they analyze a judicial review involving a rejected late dispute application—complete with a single stamped reason: “No arguable defence”—and why that was upheld despite arguments about inadequate reasoning. Later in the episode, Erik Magraken delivers a pointed Magraken Moment on the lack of accountability for ICBC and the BC government in the aftermath of the Lapu Lapu festival tragedy. He argues that victims are being denied justice under BC's no-fault system while Premier David Eby publicly vilifies the accused. Kyla and Paul break down the political and legal consequences, including how no-fault laws strip victims of their right to compensation and access to court.

    This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko unpack the devastating mass casualty event at Vancouver's Lapu Lapu Festival, where eleven people were killed and many more injured after a vehicle was driven into the crowd. They explain the legal landscape surrounding the second-degree murder charges, why first-degree murder wasn't laid (yet), and how additional charges could be added as the investigation evolves. Kyla and Paul also explore the public's questions around sentencing, parole ineligibility, and the potential for not criminally responsible (NCR) arguments. They consider how these events highlight systemic issues in how we license drivers, evaluate mental health risks, and design public policy in the wake of tragedy—while warning against knee-jerk legislative responses.

    Episode 401: ICBC Privacy Payouts and the Future of Interprovincial Traffic

    This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko take a deep dive into two major developments in law and driving that show how privacy breaches and government decisions continue to ripple across BC and beyond. First, they unpack the BC Court of Appeal's decision upholding $15,000 in damages for each person affected by the ICBC privacy breach scandal—where an employee improperly accessed and sold private information that led to shootings and arsons. Kyla and Paul discuss why the Court rejected ICBC's arguments for lower payouts, and what this means for privacy law going forward. Then, they turn to the broader traffic landscape, from increasing Vancouver road chaos and police misbehaviour to the impact of new interprovincial trade rules, the upcoming federal election, and Trump's latest threat of tariffs on Canadian-made cars. They break down how all of this could reshape traffic patterns, trucking routes, and long weekends on BC's highways. Finally, in Ridiculous Driver of the Week, they highlight a Tennessee driver who crashed into a parked police car—after driving a quarter mile along the shoulder while reading a doctor's prescription.

    Episode 400: Graduated Licensing Overhaul and the Long Road to Class 5

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 17, 2025 34:12


    This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko dive into the BC government's newly announced overhaul of the province's graduated licensing system—a change that's already making waves on TikTok. Under the new rules, drivers will no longer need to take a road test to graduate from an N to a Class 5 license. But instead of full driving privileges, new Class 5 drivers will receive a restricted license that maintains many of the same limitations as the N, including zero tolerance for alcohol and drugs, restrictions on electronic device use, and potentially even passenger limits. Kyla and Paul break down what the legislation actually says, how it leaves room for expanded regulation by ICBC, and why these changes could mean more money flowing from drivers to the government through added licensing fees, reinstatement costs, and dispute applications. They also explore the potential for unequal treatment of international and out-of-province drivers and the long-standing question of whether these rules are about safety—or simply revenue. Then, in Ridiculous Driver of the Week, they discuss a Burnaby driver who was fined for having their dog in their lap while driving—raising questions about safety, enforcement, and whether our furry passengers should be considered unsecured cargo.

    Episode 399: Charter Delay Tactics and Civil Liability in Psychosis

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 11, 2025 32:50


    This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko take a deep dive into two legal cases that raise big questions about justice, delay, and mental health on the road. First, they unpack a newly released BC Provincial Court decision in R v. Carr, where a defence lawyer attempted to argue that a traffic ticket should be thrown out for unreasonable delay—even though it was the lawyer's own Charter application that created the delay. The court firmly rejected the argument, clarifying that you can't manufacture delay and then claim a breach of the right to be tried within a reasonable time. Then, they discuss a fascinating BC Supreme Court ruling involving a driver experiencing a psychotic break who intentionally struck a motorcyclist he believed was a demon. Despite his mental state, the court found him civilly liable. Kyla and Paul debate the implications for liability law, mental health, and the role ICBC played in pursuing this case. Ridiculous Driver of the Week features two standouts: a bus in the UK pushing a sideways car down the road like a bulldozer, and a SWAT team raid gone sideways when the target casually drives past the armoured vehicle and slips away unnoticed.

    Episode 398: Banana Breath Tests, Road Rage, and a Week of Mayhem on BC Roads

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 4, 2025 27:40


    This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko unpack a string of bizarre and troubling driving incidents across the Lower Mainland, painting a picture of rising chaos on the roads. They start with the Abbotsford Police Department's unexpected spring impaired driving blitz, prompted by a sharp spike in immediate roadside prohibitions. Kyla dives into the numbers and floats a theory: it's not just more enforcement—it's that people are turning to alcohol in response to economic stress and social instability. From there, they discuss a rash of road rage incidents in Richmond—including bear spray and a visible airsoft gun—as well as an impaired driving case in Kitsilano involving a child in the vehicle and multiple collisions, where police issued an IRP but are also recommending criminal charges. Kyla and Paul dissect the legal inconsistencies and the concerning lack of due process in BC's administrative driving penalties. They also tackle a high-stakes car chase in Vancouver's West End involving armed teens in an allegedly stolen Tesla, and the growing public scrutiny around police tactics thanks to social media and bystander video. And throughout it all, the hosts reflect on the erosion of visible traffic enforcement post-pandemic, linking the recent uptick in reckless behaviour to a sense that “no one is watching.” With no shortage of wild driving behaviour this week, Ridiculous Driver of the Week goes to… everyone.

They also explore the implications of a recent BC Supreme Court ruling on police surveillance and personal privacy. Later, they discuss Mark Carney's plan to shift Canada's auto manufacturing to be fully domestic in response to potential U.S. tariffs, and what that might mean for Canadian drivers and consumers.
