Episode 153: Cannabis impairment study, cycling proposal

A new study from the USA's National Institute of Justice shows that current methods for testing drivers for impairment by cannabis at the roadside are unreliable. Kyla and Paul discuss what impact, if at all, the findings will have on law enforcement in Canada. Could impaired driving lawyers in Canada be doing more to help their clients? What lessons can they learn from their counterparts in the US? A proposal put forward by the BC Cycling coalition has Kyla's blood boiling. The motion would amend the Motor Vehicle Act to require passing drivers to keep 1.5 m away from cyclists. And, as usual, there's Ridiculous Driver of the Week.
