A vehicle registered to the premier of Saskatchewan has been impounded in British Columbia, after the person driving — who was not the premier — allegedly failed a roadside sobriety test, Global News has learned.
Vancouver police said they pulled over a vehicle with Saskatchewan plates around 1 a.m. on Thursday near Burrard and Robson streets after the driver, a 28-year-old man with a Saskatchewan licence, ran a red light.

“Anybody who provides a breath sample into a roadside breathalyzer that registers a fail or anybody who refuses to comply with a roadside breathalyzer demand will receive an automatic 90-day driving prohibition and 30-day impound regardless of their previous history,” Vancouver lawyer Kyla Lee explained of the law.
Lee said drivers can also face a criminal charge for impaired driving, but that police frequently use their discretion not to recommend one if the driver does not have a prior history.
