…Why the Seven-Day Period to Dispute an IRP is a Mockery of Justice
British Columbia’s Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) system is lauded by the government as an efficient tool for combating impaired driving. But behind the veneer of public safety lies a deeply flawed, grossly unfair process that tramples on fundamental principles of justice.
Chief among its failures is the absurdly short seven-day window to dispute an IRP. This arbitrary timeline—designed more for bureaucratic convenience than for fairness—sets countless individuals up for failure, leaving them powerless against a system stacked against them.

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.
