Jeep stopped by police, drunk driver arrested

Nothing particularly unusual here, except the Jeep was quite small, and pink in colour. The driver was described as “drunk”, but this being BC, I suspect other substances may have been involved. The man is appealing the traffic citation. :grin:

Ken has really let himself go.

Anywhere else, he’d be, uh, ten.

But according to police, driving an unlicensed motorized vehicle — even one that’s made for a child — on a road meant for full-sized cars is against the law.

Someone should tell that to all the kids zipping around on electric bikes.

In Oregon, tickets get issued for anything with a motor. I’ve seen it happen to a motorized skateboarder running a red, and e-bikers going over the speed limit.

And golf carts, and bicycles, and I beleive even horses. I knew a guy that bought a farm tractor to get around the law, didn’t work.
