Driving Law Episode 442: VPD Training Academy, Traffic Court Appeal & Motorcycle Flight Case

This week on Driving Law, Kyla and Paul discuss Vancouver’s decision to create its own in-house police training academy and what that could mean for policing standards and institutional knowledge in B.C. They also break down a traffic court appeal involving a distracted driving ticket and cross-examination fairness, and analyze an Alberta motorcycle case where a rider claimed he couldn’t hear police sirens because he modified his exhaust. With motorcycle season approaching and distracted driving enforcement month underway, this episode covers key legal principles drivers need to know. Plus, several Ridiculous Drivers of the Week — including a train barricade crash and a motorcycle flight gone wrong.
