Driving Law with Kyla Lee: Episode Thirty Four

This week on the Driving Law Podcast, I speak with Paul Doroshenko of Acumen Law Corporation about legal ethics, and how he made them intersect with driving law by giving out some super-cool Acumen branded vehicle air fresheners. Then, we talk about some of the more in-depth concerns that are raised by Bill C-46, surrounding both legal ethics and how charge assessment decisions will have to change. Finally, we finish off with the decision by an Ontario police force to name and shame impaired driving. It’s definitely a jam-packed episode worth a listen this week.
