A driver in Tsawwassen out for an early morning ride – in his golf cart no less – was pulled over by Delta police Tuesday.
According to police, the driver – wearing a bathrobe and slippers – was one of three suspected impaired drivers pulled over in the early morning hours on April 14.
“Our officer was driving southbound on 52nd St. near 12th Ave. when he observed a golf cart driving northbound up 52nd,” said DPD in an email to the Optimist. “Wondering why a golf cart was being driven on the roadway, the officer activated his emergency equipment and pulled it over, to check for the driver’s insurance, license and sobriety.
“Upon approaching the golf cart, the officer detected a distinct odour of liquor, and noted the driver was wearing a bathrobe and slippers.”
Police say the driver then blew into the Approved Screening Device, which registered a fail. The driver was then banned from driving for 90 days, and the golf cart was towed.
“While our roads may be quieter than normal, please remember all the normal rules of the road apply - and are being enforced,” said DPD.
