Barbie Jeep Driver Arrested in Prince George After Toy-Car Commute

Police say the motorized toy qualified as a vehicle, posing risks during the rush-hour stop.

Overview

  • RCMP stopped Kasper Lincoln around 9 a.m. on Sept. 5 on Fifteenth Avenue near Nicholson Street in Prince George, B.C.
  • Officers say he had a suspended licence and provided two breath samples over the legal limit, leading to an arrest for prohibited driving.
  • He received a 90-day driving prohibition and an appearance notice for a December court date.
  • RCMP cited Canadian law that treats any roadway device powered by more than muscular force as a motor vehicle requiring a licensed, insured driver.
  • Lincoln says he borrowed his roommate’s child’s pink Power Wheels to get a Slurpee, claims he didn’t know it was illegal, and plans to contest as photos and videos of the stop spread online.
