BC Highway Patrol says the 24-year-old driver of a Honda Civic is now facing fines of more than $400 for driving in the HOV lane against regulation, driving without consideration, and having tinted windows.
“The BC Highway Patrol officer on scene did an investigation and determined the driver of the Honda Civic was not supposed to be in the HOV lane. And got 3 tickets for the violation.” Corp. Michael McLaughlin told 1130 NewsRadio.
