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 421: IRP Hearings Halted, Government Inaction, and Two Political “Ridiculous Drivers”
This week on Driving Law, Kyla and Paul unpack how BC’s public-sector job action has frozen Immediate Roadside Prohibition hearings and delayed decisions, leaving drivers punished without a path to challenge. They explain why blanket adjournments without dates breach procedural fairness, the legal demands made to the Superintendent and Solicitor General, and a test-case petition filed to push back against government inaction. Finally, the Ridiculous Drivers of the Week are political: BC’s finance minister racks up six thousand dollars in limo charges on a US trip, and Ontario’s premier calls traffic cameras a cash grab after years of backing them.
