In this case, Kristen Debra-Lee Spencer challenges an Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) in a Supreme Court Review of an adjudicators decision upholding the IRP on review.

Our son has an "L" licence and is currently taking a course with a professional driving school. Our Question - is it illegal in BC for him - with his Learner's Licence - to practice on our own private land, providing he does not go near the sidewalk or road outside our property line?
I was driving my friends car without him knowing that I had no drivers licence. We got pulled over and the car got impounded for 30 days. He has a full time job and cannot go without a car. I on the other hand, am disabled and cannot work and am willing to do what ever it takes to get his car out of vehicle impound so he can go to work. Is it possible?
