Well, obviously traffic laws should apply to everyone--their purpose is to keep the public safe, and that's a principle you'd think would have some bearing here.
But really--isn't the simple answer to just print traffic tickets in both official languages? There are people in Canada who speak French and not much English, just as there are many who speak English and not much French. If you got a traffic ticket printed only in French, wouldn't you feel entitled to an English version too?
This does seem like a bit of a storm in a teacup though. I've heard of fighting traffic tickets--but before the Supreme Court?
