This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko discuss an unprecedented roadside drug enforcement campaign at the Shambhala Music Festival, where police used a mobile lab to take 24 blood samples on-site — likely a Canadian first. They examine the legal, procedural, and privacy issues this raises for impaired driving investigations.
Next, they turn to Edmonton, where police uncovered more than $200,000 in fraudulent insurance claims tied to ten tow truck companies. The case exposes systemic abuse in the towing industry and the lack of effective oversight.
Finally, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week is a Nanaimo motorcyclist caught on video violently shoving a cyclist off the road. Kyla and Paul break down the legal implications and the broader concerns for vulnerable road user safety.
