Episode Details

Police are catching record numbers of drivers who’ve been banned from the road—over 10,000 last year, up from just 4,000 a decade ago. These aren’t minor slips: offenders include repeat violators like a Porsche-driving tenth-time offender and a man speeding at 170 kph with his kid in the car. From CEOs to tradespeople, these “road pirates” claim emergencies, but the real danger is they’re still behind the wheel. New camera tech helps catch them instantly, but punishment lags. A proposed law to jail repeat offenders immediately has sat idle for years, while authorities call the situation “unacceptable.”
