Driving Law Episode 474 – ICBC No-Fault Insurance and Fatal Collision Charges
ICBC's no-fault insurance system is back in the political spotlight. Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko discuss the provincial election debate, a proposed hybrid insurance system and what the competing approaches could mean for injured drivers in British Columbia.
They also examine the legal consequences when someone dies weeks after a collision, including causation, potential criminal charges and the complications that arise when a person has already been convicted of a related offence.
Plus, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week takes us to Pembroke, Ontario, where two children reportedly took a vehicle for a joyride that ended in a cornfield.

Driving Law Episode 473 – New Breathalyzer, New Questions About IRP Fairness
Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko examine newly obtained freedom of information records concerning the rollout of BC's new Dräger Alcotest 6000 roadside breath-testing device.
The documents reveal discussions about a separate police training program and a proposal to invite RoadSafetyBC adjudicators to attend. Kyla and Paul question what this could mean for the independence of the people responsible for reviewing Immediate Roadside Prohibitions, particularly when the police are parties to those proceedings.
They also examine the involvement of a private consulting company, questions about who might cover training expenses and why further disclosure is needed to establish what actually happened.
Plus, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week features a man wanted on multiple warrants who allegedly attracted police attention by using his phone while driving in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

Driving Law Episode 472 – Medical Emergencies & Fatal Collision Investigations
In Episode 472 of Driving Law, Kyla Lee examines the legal questions arising from the tragic vehicle incident at a Truth and Reconciliation event in BC that killed two First Nations elders and injured two others.
Kyla explains how police may investigate whether a fatal collision resulted from dangerous driving, criminal negligence, impairment or an unexpected medical emergency. She also looks at how investigators can obtain hospital records and blood evidence, what must be proven when a medical condition is involved, and why an unexpected medical event can provide a defence to criminal charges.
The episode also considers the impact of the tragedy on the affected Indigenous community and why that context could become relevant if charges are eventually laid and the case proceeds to sentencing. Pasted markdown
There is no Ridiculous Driver of the Week in this episode given the seriousness of the subject.
