After responding to a report of an erratic driver Monday afternoon, Bay d’Espoir RCMP impounded the vehicle of 27-year-old woman found operating without a valid licence, registration or insurance.
On December 22 around 3:00 p.m., Bay d’Espoir RCMP received a call from a concerned member of public about a car being driving in an erratic manner, headed southbound on Route 360. Police located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop.
The driver — a 27-year-old woman — was discovered to be operating with an expired driver’s licence. In addition, the vehicle she was driving was not registered and did not have insurance.
