BURNABY (NEWS 1130) – It looks like a motorist in Burnaby went a little overboard in trying to get into the holiday spirit.

Police say a driver was pulled over and ticketed after they duct-taped Christmas lights to their Tesla.

The driver was pulled over Tuesday night near Kingsway and McMurray avenues.

A tweet from the Burnaby RCMP says, “Please don’t do this, it can be dangerous if they fall off in traffic, never mind the distraction.”
