Episode 434: Mandatory Alcohol Screening Expands, Right to Silence Case, and a Driver Asleep at the Wheel

from Driving Law · host Driving Law

A new year brings new developments in driving law. This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko break down Saskatchewan police officially implementing mandatory alcohol screening and why British Columbia continues to resist widespread use of the practice. They also discuss a significant Ontario case reinforcing the right to silence, concerns around police questioning after arrest, and what drivers actually need to know about speaking to police. Plus, the first Ridiculous Driver of 2026 — a driver who wasn’t really driving at all — raises serious questions about police response, vehicle technology, and the future of road safety.
