Cellphone to talk on while driving? Check.
High-end luxury vehicle? Check.
Heavy foot to speed nearly twice the speed limit on a quiet Burnaby road? Check.
‘L’ sticker on the back of the vehicle? Check.
Supervisor as required by ‘L’ licence? Nope.
A driver in Burnaby is in big trouble today after RCMP pulled them over Friday night for driving 118 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. That will result in an excessive speeding ticket and having their high-end luxury Audi vehicle impounded for a week.
But it doesn’t stop there.
This ‘L’ driver was also caught talking on their cellphone while driving, resulting in a pricey distracting driving ticket.
Oh, it gets even better.
This ‘L’ driver didn’t have a supervisor with them as required by their licence.
“We stopped this,” read a tweet by the Burnaby RCMP.
The post on the police department’s Twitter feed brought the wrath of people fed up with bad drivers.
“Although I would love their licence to be pulled indefinitely- I get the feeling that won't stop them from driving while prohibited,” read one response. “Seeing as they already disregarded many laws regarding their licence restrictions and many aren't legal with a full licence.”
“Sell off the car,” read another response. “Insurance should’ve been void as well.”
“Maybe just crush the car in front of the driver,” read another response – this one would be just so lovely.
