Driving Law

This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko discuss a major Court of Appeal decision involving ICBC hit-and-run claims and whether victims must investigate crashes themselves in order to obtain compensation. The court ultimately rejected the idea that injured drivers should conduct their own investigations when police efforts have already failed to identify a suspect. They also examine a judicial review involving a roadside breath test refusal and the difficulties drivers face challenging Immediate Roadside Prohibitions. The discussion highlights how credibility assessments and vague roadside statements can be used to uphold driving prohibitions, raising broader concerns about fairness in the system. Plus, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week features an unbelievable police pursuit where a cruiser ends up high-centered on a trailer before another officer attempts a PIT maneuver.
