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 415: Roadside Blood Draws at Shambhala, Alberta Tow Truck Fraud, and Nanaimo Road Violence
This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko discuss an unprecedented roadside drug enforcement campaign at the Shambhala Music Festival, where police used a mobile lab to take 24 blood samples on-site — likely a Canadian first. They examine the legal, procedural, and privacy issues this raises for impaired driving investigations.
Next, they turn to Edmonton, where police uncovered more than $200,000 in fraudulent insurance claims tied to ten tow truck companies. The case exposes systemic abuse in the towing industry and the lack of effective oversight.
Finally, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week is a Nanaimo motorcyclist caught on video violently shoving a cyclist off the road. Kyla and Paul break down the legal implications and the broader concerns for vulnerable road user safety.
