West Shore RCMP's traffic unit has issued a friendly reminder to all drivers: B次元官网网址淥ur roads are not Mario Kart tracks.B次元官网网址
The tongue-in-cheek warning was made following an incident on Monday Sept. 23, when police responded to reports of a go-kart driving aggressively in heavy traffic on Peatt Road and Hockley Avenue in Langford.
Behind the wheel of the go-kart was a 45-year-old man. His go-kart was towed, and he was charged with having no vehicle licence.
According to Cpl. Nancy Saggar, media relations officer for West Shore RCMP, when the call first came in, police suspected the driver might be impaired or young.
B次元官网网址淣o, this was a 45-year-old individual,B次元官网网址 said Saggar. B次元官网网址淢ade a bad decision.B次元官网网址
To add insult to injury, the driver might have evaded capture if he hadnB次元官网网址檛 led police directly to his whereabouts. During his escapades, the go-kart had driven over a can of white spray paint dropped on the road by the wannabe Mario.
B次元官网网址淸To] leave a paint trail to where you're parked, is also great for us,B次元官网网址 said Saggar.
B次元官网网址淵ou can't play Mario Kart in the middle of Langford B次元官网网址 you're gonna get caught,B次元官网网址 she added.
