But one driver likely won’t do it again after getting hit with a $575 fine by RCMP in Langford on Vancouver Island on Thursday.
The driver called the ticket “insane.”
But police say it is not only extremely dangerous given the outdoor conditions, it’s also illegal.
Officials are also reminding campers about the campfire ban that is still in place for the long weekend.
