A Vancouver police officer says a ticket was issued for driving in the bus lane to a driver who had just failed her driver’s test for driving in a bus lane.
Mark Christensen, traffic sergeant with the Vancouver Police Dept., said on social media Wednesday that a vehicle was stopped for driving in a bus lane and the driver produced a learner’s licence.
Christensen said the driver told the officer she was coming from a driving test that she had failed.
She provided documentation that showed she failed the test because she drove in a bus lane, Christensen said.
