Kyla and Paul react to the big news that the Supreme Court of Canada found Ottawa's carbon tax bill constitutional. The news has big implications for the future of driving law.

A judicial review of an IRP decision raises Charter violation issues in relation to cases where a person is charged with refusal to provide a sample of breath. 

Also, we find out how you can plead guilty by accident. In a recent traffic court case, a woman accidentally plead guilty to two traffic tickets after her daughter paid her fines without her knowing. We hear what a court made of her defence.

Finally, we have Ridiculous Driver of the Week.
