This week on the Driving Law podcast, I speak with Paul Doroshenko about the new BC Government report into ride-hailing services. The Report has several recommendations, but the most interesting aspect of it is Transportation Minister Claire Trevana’s insistence that drivers obtain a Class 4 license before being permitted to drive an Uber or other ride-sharing vehicle. Paul and I discuss the pitfalls of this and whether this is actually a blessing in disguise.

Then, we share the story of our recent cross-border excursion to purchase the entire surplus stock of Intox EC/IR and EC/IR II breathalyzer instruments from the state of Illinois, why we did it, and what we intend to do next. I also present Paul with a few of the mean Tweets and comments made about our decision, and we respond directly.

I’m also pleased to announce that the Driving Law podcast is now part of the Cannabis Media Collective!

Introducing my new video series, with Paul Doroshenko and Acumen Law Corporation. We enter the Acumen Labs to answer the important questions about what commonly-found household products may or may not cause false readings on a roadside breathalyzer. We put some myths to bed, while we expose hidden secrets about failing breathalyzer tests.

If you are concerned about how you can fail a breathalyzer even when you are sober, then this video series is a must-watch for you!

This week on the Driving Law podcast, I speak with Paul Doroshenko about the Humboldt Broncos sentencing decision expected to be released the day of the podcast. We also discuss further changes to distracted driving laws, and what exceptions exist in the Motor Vehicle Act for using a cell phone while driving.
