The Supreme Court of Canada has spoken — and it’s not the news we hoped for.
This week on Driving Law, Kyla and Paul break down the SCC’s new decisions in Goldson and related cases on the admissibility of breath-test standards, why the “trust us, we’re government” approach undermines fair trials, and what Justice Côté’s dissent could mean for future constitutional challenges.
And for the Ridiculous Driver of the Week: a man in Hamilton takes “take the bus” a little too literally — stealing a city bus and driving it safely along its route, picking up passengers along the way.
Stream Episode 428 for the full discussion and all the legal fallout.

Episode 413: Extended Bar Hours, Police Missteps, and the Sidewalk Lexus
This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko discuss Vancouver’s decision to extend bar hours to 4 a.m., raising concerns about transit access and impaired driving enforcement at a time when the city’s traffic unit is severely depleted. They explore how the change could affect public safety, particularly in the absence of roadblocks and routine DUI checks.
Next, they examine a series of questionable policing decisions involving Constable Keith McCready of the Prince George RCMP, including issuing IRPs in odd circumstances. Public backlash intensified after an arson site near a weigh scale was tagged with graffiti: “Good job McCready.” Kyla and Paul reflect on community trust, internal misconduct, and the difficulty of holding officers accountable.
They also dissect a troubling video from Florida showing a Black man violently pulled from his car during a traffic stop despite being compliant—another example of systemic issues in policing.
The Ridiculous Driver of the Week is a man in Brampton caught on video speeding along a sidewalk in a Lexus to skip traffic. In a bonus local story, a Vancouver man with a handicap placard was filmed illegally dumping a mattress in a public park.
