A car is stopped on the shoulder of the roadway. The front of a police vehicle is also visible in the foreground.

A 49-year-old suspended driver had his vehicle seized by police Saturday during a traffic stop near Conne River. 

On February 28, shortly before 12:30 p.m., a Harbour Breton RCMP officer patrolling Route 360 pulled over a vehicle headed northbound near the Conne River turnoff. During the traffic stop, police learned that the driver was operating with a suspended licence, and that the car was not properly insured. 

The driver was issued tickets under the Highway Traffic Act for driving while disqualified and for the uninsured vehicle. His car was seized by police and impounded. 

RCMP Newfoundland and Labrador reminds all drivers that you are required to have valid legal documentation, including your license, registration and insurance, on your person when operating a motor vehicle. Anyone found operating a motor vehicle on Newfoundland and Labrador roadways without the proper legal documentation, licensing and registration will be penalized and face legal consequences.
