A driver in Caledon is facing charges after officers discovered an inflatable canoe tied across the front windshield of their vehicle.
According to the Caledon detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), the traffic stop occurred when an officer with the Traffic Unit noticed the car being driven with its view significantly obstructed.
The inflatable canoe was strapped in such a way that it appeared to impair the driver's ability to see through their front windshield.
The driver was charged under the Highway Traffic Act with No Clear View to Front.
Police took to social media to share the incident, warning motorists to properly secure loads and ensure their view is not blocked. 'Don't have your fun times deflated by getting a ticket,' the OPP posted, reminding drivers to travel safely.
The Town of Caledon and police services continue to emphasize road safety as the summer season begins.
