Trinity Conception District RCMP impounded a pickup truck on Tuesday afternoon after learning that the vehicle did not have proper insurance or registration, and was being operated by a driver with a suspended licence.
On April 21, just after 12:30 p.m., an officer patrolling Route 70 (Conception Bay Highway) in Bay Roberts stopped a pickup truck that was operating with unsecured items in back. The operator, a 38-year-old North River man, was unable to produce documents to confirm that the vehicle was registered or insured. He was also found to be operating the vehicle while his licence was suspended.
Police seized and impounded the vehicle and issued the operator four tickets under the Highway Traffic Act for:
- Operating an unregistered vehicle
- Operating a vehicle with a suspended licence
- Operating a vehicle without a policy of insurance
- Operating a vehicle with an unsecured load
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. Motorists are reminded to drive safe, drive sober and ensure that your licence, registration and insurance are always up to date.
