A man from St. Clements is facing charges after police stopped him driving a golf cart in Goderich.
Just after 1:20 a.m. on Sunday, June 22nd, Huron County OPP officers noticed a golf cart being driven without lights on Victoria Street North. They pulled it over and spoke with the driver. Officers learned the driver had been drinking and had even been given a three-day licence suspension the day before for registering a “WARN” on a roadside screening device.
Police arrested the driver for impaired operation and took him to the Huron OPP detachment in Clinton. There, he provided breath samples that showed he was over twice the legal alcohol limit.
As a result, a 40-year-old of St. Clements has been charged with impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit. He also faces a charge under the Highway Traffic Act for driving while under suspension.
Huron County OPP reminds everyone that no matter what type of vehicle you are driving, impaired driving is dangerous and illegal. Always make safe choices and plan a sober ride home.
