Episode 459: Saskatchewan's IRP Plan, Cannabis Presumptions, and the Future of Impaired Driving Law
This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko examine two significant legal developments that could reshape impaired driving law across Canada. They begin with Saskatchewan's proposal to introduce an Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) regime modelled after British Columbia's. The proposed legislation includes immediate licence suspensions, vehicle impoundments, financial penalties, ignition interlock requirements, and escalating consequences for repeat offenders. Kyla and Paul question whether the legislation may go too far by characterizing administrative penalties as "offences," potentially creating constitutional issues under the division of powers between provincial and federal governments. Next, they discuss a new Ontario Court of Appeal decision involving cannabis-impaired driving. The court ruled that statutory presumptions for blood drug concentrations apply even when blood samples are obtained through a search warrant rather than a Criminal Code demand. Kyla and Paul examine the implications of the ruling, including concerns about measurement uncertainty, the erosion of procedural safeguards, and the growing difficulty of challenging impaired driving prosecutions based on blood drug testing. Finally, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week is a pickup truck driver who ignored a road closure, moved the barricades himself, and drove straight into freshly poured concrete, leaving his vehicle firmly stuck and serving as a reminder that road closure signs exist for a reason.

Episode 458: Cross-Examination, Courtroom Storytelling, & the Art of Being Nice to Cops
This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee is joined by Montana criminal defence lawyer Matt Dodd for a discussion about cross-examination, trial advocacy, and storytelling in court. Matt discusses his criminal defence and DUI practice in Montana, including his work on serious criminal cases and civil litigation. He and Kyla then explore what makes cross-examination effective, emphasizing the importance of preparation, knowing the goal for each witness, and using cross-examination to tell the client’s story. The conversation also looks at why lawyers do not always need to be aggressive to be effective. Matt explains why he often takes a friendly, conversational approach with police witnesses, and how that can help control the witness, lower defensiveness, and make the information more accessible to a jury. Kyla and Matt also discuss the importance of in-person advocacy, building rapport in courtrooms, and the value of getting real-world practice talking to people. They consider how younger lawyers may face a steeper learning curve with interpersonal courtroom skills after years of remote hearings and online learning. Plus, Matt shares information about Dodd Trial Skills clinics, including upcoming in-person cross-examination training opportunities for lawyers. Check out Dodd Trial Skills Clinics for more information about Matt’s cross-examination training, or contact Acumen Law at VancouverCriminalLaw.com for assistance with driving law and criminal defence matters.

Driving Law Episode 457: The Raffia Appeal, Forensic Science Failures & Throwing Your Phone Out the Window
In Episode 457 of Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko discuss the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision in R. v. Raffia and what it means for impaired driving refusal cases. The pair examine why the Court declined to weigh in on the controversial reasonable excuse issue that has generated significant discussion among impaired driving lawyers across Canada. They also break down the procedural complexities behind the appeal and what the decision leaves unresolved. Kyla and Paul then turn to a new Canadian study examining wrongful convictions and forensic science. The discussion explores how forensic evidence is often overstated in court, why juries and judges may place too much confidence in scientific evidence, and what this means for impaired driving prosecutions that rely heavily on forensic testing. Plus, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week features a driver who reacted to a distracted driving ticket by throwing his phone out the window in front of the police officer.
