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 416: Pepper Spray Road Rage, Uber’s Big Win, & the IRP Nobody Saw Coming
This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko dive into a fiery road rage case in Surrey, where a driver jumped out, pepper sprayed another motorist, and sped off through a red light—all caught on dashcam. They discuss how the police may pursue charges, what kind of evidence they need, and why some road rage incidents cross the legal line.
Next, they analyze a major Supreme Court victory for Uber drivers in Vancouver. The city’s controversial bylaw that charged per-stop fees downtown was struck down as unconstitutional. Paul and Kyla explore the court’s reasoning and the broader implications for municipal power and provincial jurisdiction.
Finally, they review this week’s Ridiculous Driver of the Week—a suspected drunk driver who flipped a Jeep on Highway 3, nearly crashing into an oncoming car. Despite the crash, police issued only an Immediate Roadside Prohibition. Kyla and Paul criticize the growing reliance on IRPs, especially in serious cases where criminal charges might be more appropriate.
