YouB次元官网网址檇 think some things could go without saying, like for instance, donB次元官网网址檛 drive 161 kilometres an hour with a bulldog on your lap.
Turns out, it needs saying.
BC Highway Patrol caught someone doing exactly that when, at around 12:30 p.m. on May 14, police were set up for speed checks on Highway 1 near Popkum. An officer saw a white Ferrari changing lanes several times while going really fast. The officer, Cst. Blair Fuller, clocked the car at 161 kilometres per hour in a 100 kph zone, and pulled it over.
Walking over to grab license and registration from a male driver in his 30s, Fuller saw a bulldog sitting on the manB次元官网网址檚 lap.
B次元官网网址淒riving any vehicle at this rate of speed with or without an animal on your lap is dangerous for all involved,B次元官网网址 he told the man. B次元官网网址淒riving with a pet on your lap can interfere with your ability to safely control the vehicle.B次元官网网址
The Ferrari was impounded and the driver now faces several charges under the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act (MVA).
BC Highway Patrol reminds motorists that May is High-Risk Driving Awareness month, with police agencies across the province stepping up enforcement of dangerous driving behaviours.
