Alberta's justice minister is reviewing a provincial court decision to strike down a 2003 traffic ticket issued to a francophone trucker because it was written only in English.
Judge Leo Wenden ruled this week that Alberta's Languages Act and Traffic Safety Act do not apply to Gilles Caron because they are not written in French

Really? The Traffic Safety Act does not apply to this dude? Way to give someone the unfettered ability to drive however they darn well feel.
