The Abbotsford Police Department stated on its Facebook page there was a notation on the man’s licence that he had previously been given a five-month driving prohibition from the superintendent of the Motor Vehicle Branch.
The superintendent has the authority to ban a person from driving based on their driving record or if their driving poses a risk to public safety.
