An Innisfil man was charged with impaired driving Tuesday after Guelph police pulled him over because the trailer he was pulling appeared to be in poor mechanical condition.
At 3:20 p.m., police report they observed a motor vehicle driving near the intersection of Victoria Road North and Eramosa Road in Guelph, with a trailer that didn’t have a licence plate.
A traffic stop was initiated and, after observing that the trailer was full of rust and in poor mechanical condition, police say the vehicle and trailer were moved to a nearby parking lot to assess the mechanical fitness of the trailer.
After speaking with the driver further, a demand was made for him to provide a roadside breath test, which he failed.
A 50-year-old Innisfil man has been charged with impaired and no plate on trailer.
His driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days, and his vehicle was impounded for seven days.
