We’ve been so busy in the last few months that we’ve barely had a moment to lift our heads and take a look around. Aside from forcing the Government to abide by the law concerning the Interlock and RDP remedial requirements, we’ve got the IIP lifted for a huge number of clients and the RDP […]

One thing we’ve learned in the last few years in our battle with this BCLiberal Government over the IRP scheme is that you can’t trust this Government to do the right thing. In fact, you can’t trust this Government. It’s not that every utterance of this Government is a lie. Certainly that’s not the case.

It’s startling when you read back though our blog posts over the last few years how well we predicted certain developments in the story of the Immediate Roadside Prohibition scheme.

The new Superintendent of Motor Vehicles is now writing letters telling people how much money they can get back for being wrongly referred to the IIP (Interlock) and RDP.
