A Burnaby, B.C. woman has been banned from driving for three months after going the wrong way in North Vancouver and failing a breath test.
According to North Vancouver RCMP, multiple witnesses had reported a white KIA travelling west in the eastbound lanes of Highway 1 with a flat tire near the Lynn Valley exit around 3 a.m. on Monday.
When police found the vehicle near the Westview Drive exit, they noticed “signs of impairment” from the driver. She failed the roadside breath test she took and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days.
British Columbia has the toughest drinking and driving laws in Canada, North Vancouver RCMP said in a Monday news release. Suspensions can range from 24 hours to 90 days with fines up to $4,060.
