Driving Law

Kyla is joined by forensic consultant (and former Saskatoon police officer/paramedic) Jan Semenoff to unpack continuous alcohol monitoring—ignition interlocks, SCRAM ankle bracelets, and Soberlink—and why so many people get flagged for “violations” even when they haven’t been drinking. Jan shares real cases (a fleeting 0.031 spike; a SCRAM reading hit by Static Guard on a blanket; bar staff getting ambient-alcohol alerts) to show how products, workplaces, illness, ketosis, and diabetes can confound fuel-cell devices. His solution: My CAM Program—a practical course for monitored clients with short videos, readable modules, reflective quizzes, and a 100-page downloadable guide with logbooks and checklists.

The goal is prevention and better records to help lawyers
