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. 😁

> 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.
