The following excerpt is from Houston v British Columbia (The Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2017 BCSC 1859 (CanLII):

In Linares v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2014 BCSC 1014, this court held that despite flawed reasoning on the part of the adjudicator, he was, nevertheless, entitled to conclude on the evidence that there was a realistic risk of danger to persons or property, particularly given the low threshold involved.
