Turning left instead of right into a roundabout got a Collingwood man in a whole heap of trouble.
Provincial police pulled a driver over after observing a car travelling the wrong way around a roundabout just before midnight on Monday in the Blue Mountains.
Police determined the 22-year-old Collingwood man had more than 1.5 times the legal limit of alcohol in his BAC (blood/alcohol concentration).
The same man had been arrested on August 4 for impaired driving after being involved in a single motor vehicle collision.
The accused was charged under the Criminal Code with one count of operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs, one count of operation while impaired – blood/alcohol concentration 80 plus and under the Highway Traffic Act with drive motor vehicle no licence.
He was served a 90-day licence suspension, with his vehicle impoundment for seven days and an appearance before the Ontario Court of Justice in Collingwood at a future date.
If you suspect someone of driving while impaired, call the OPP 1-888-310-1122 or dial 911 to report it.
