This week on Driving Law, Kyla and Paul unpack the backlash Kyla faced after explaining a cyclist’s legal obligations in a Global News story. What began as a simple clarification of BC’s Motor Vehicle Act sparked outrage and personal attacks—highlighting the rising hostility toward legal discourse online.
They then examine a tragic Surrey case where a man was fatally run over and dragged by a Mustang. Two young men face sentencing, including the car’s owner who wasn’t driving. Kyla and Paul explore the unusual legal arguments and the broader implications for driving offences.
Finally, they debunk a viral fake news story claiming Canada is banning hands-free calls, eating, and adjusting dials while driving. Kyla explains why these alleged federal rules are impossible under Canada’s constitutional division of powers.
