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.
