A young driver is going to have to find an alternate mode of transportation after Oak Bay police nabbed her for impaired driving while she tried to stuff her “newly fallen off” bumper into the backseat of her car.
Police said the incident occurred just after midnight on Wednesday in the 1100-block of Beach Drive.
According to Oak Bay Police, the driver told an officer she had struck a rock after they inquired what had taken place.
The officer said the driver was exhibiting signs of impairment and was her to take a breathalyzer test.
The driver failed the roadside screening and was issued a 90 day driving prohibition her vehicle was impounded for 30 days.
The driver who only had a learners permit, was also issued six additional tickets, including one for driving without a supervisor, driving with too many passengers, driving past midnight, having blood alcohol content above 0 (which is prohibited for L drivers), driving without due care, and failing to display an L sign.
