A 44-year-old Coquitlam man who was in the middle of a driving lesson with an instructor failed to stop at a stop sign, was pulled over by police and failed a roadside sobriety test.
The driver received a ticket for failing to stop and had his learner’s licence suspended for 90 days. The driving instructor had his car impounded for 30 days.
“This may be a funny story, but we’re serious about keeping our community safe,” Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said of the Feb. 2 incident. “Neither the driving student nor the instructor did their due diligence to be safe on the road.”
Both the driver and the driving school may be under review by ICBC.
A driving student was pulled over for failing to stop at a stop sign, and failed a roadside sobriety test, say Coquitlam RCMP.
