A 23-year-old man was ticketed by Clarenville RCMP on Tuesday morning after his car broke down on the road and assisting officers discovered it was not properly registered.

Just before 11:30 a.m. on March 17, police on patrol stopped to assist a driver after his vehicle experienced a mechanical failure on Manitoba Drive. The driver, a 23-year-old man, did have a valid driver’s licence but was unable to produce a physical card for police. Officers also learned that the vehicle was not properly registered with the Motor Registration Department.

The man was issued a summary offence ticket under the Highway Traffic Act for operating an unregistered vehicle.

RCMP officers proactively patrol roadways across Newfoundland and Labrador looking for impaired drivers, checking for seatbelts and ensuring vehicles and drivers are operating safely and with the appropriate documentation.
