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 425 – Bail Reform, Driving Prohibitions, and the Fire Truck Heist
This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko break down Canada’s new bail reform legislation and how it quietly changes the Criminal Code to bring back discretionary driving prohibitions in serious offences like criminal negligence and manslaughter. They explain what this means for drivers, defence lawyers, and why the timing of a plea could make a difference.
Kyla also addresses controversy around ICBC’s Indigenous driver support hotline — pushing back on racist commentary and reminding listeners that reconciliation and accessibility still matter in the justice system.
Finally, the Ridiculous Drivers of the Week include a Lamborghini driver speeding through winter without proper tires, and a Halifax woman who stole a fire truck and somehow didn’t crash it.
Listen now for sharp legal analysis, real-world driving law insights, and a little humour along the way.
