A driver has been charged with impaired operation by police in Toronto after she was stopped allegedly over the limit with a two-year-old in the car.
In a post on social media, Ontario Provincial Police said officers with its Toronto detachment stopped the driver, who had a G1 licence.
In Ontario, drivers with a G1 licence must be accompanied by a fully-qualified and licensed driver to be allowed to legally operate a vehicle.
Drivers with a G1 licence must also have a zero-blood alcohol level and are forbidden from driving between midnight and 5 a.m., among other rules.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said the car was found on Highway 400, near Finch Avenue. A tow truck driver reportedly found the driver.
Schmidt said the driver was a 28-year-old woman from Brampton, with a two-year-old child in a car seat that was “in no condition to be used as a car seat.”
Police said her blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit. The woman faces multiple charges, according to Schmitt.
Police shared a photograph of the car being towed from the scene.
