North Vancouver RCMP has released some details about an impaired driver who was apparently so drunk that he was seen crawling to his vehicle.
RCMP shared some details in a post on X Thursday afternoon, suggesting that the driver’s breath samples revealed that he was three times over the legal limit of 80 mg.
He blew a 290 mg and a 280 mg.
“Our fight against impaired driving continues.”

Many were shocked by the post from North Vancouver RCMP, reacting to it on X.
Hopefully the establishment that was serving this person is getting a talking to as well.

Another user said, “Yikes,” while someone else merely posted, “WTH.”
Why was this able to happen in the first place? You rely on the goodwill of random citizens, but this person could have easily killed multiple people before that happened.
Cars are weapons.
