Newfoundland police say a brand-new driver was ticketed after officers found him with open alcohol in his vehicle, just hours after receiving his licence.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says the novice driver was found parked in a business parking lot in the Corner Brook region at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday.
They say that at the time, the driver had only had a licence for 12 hours.
