A tipsy motorist speeding in the middle of a storm ignored all basic safety instructions overnight from Friday to Saturday on Ontario roads, thus losing the privilege of driving.
According to the OPP, the driver was traveling at a speed of 160 km/h on snow-covered roads near Renfrew, in the Ottawa area, in a 90 km/h zone. The event happened right during the storm which left about 25 cm of snow in the area.
To “make things even worse” according to the expression of the police, the motorist failed a breathalyzer in the wake of his interception.
The driver was arrested and faces dangerous driving charges, which comes with an automatic 30-day license suspension and 14-day vehicle impoundment.
