The vehicle was off, but the keys were still in the ignition when police arrived. Police approached the vehicle, found the driver passed out in the driver’s seat, woke the driver up and spoke to the 56-year-old male from Powell River. Police obtained breath samples from the driver, which both registered a fail on the approved screening device. The driver was then issued a 90-day driving prohibition and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days under the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act.
