RCMP Arrest Man After Breath Test in Barbie Power Wheels Stop in Prince George

Police say the toy Jeep on a congested morning route qualified as a motor vehicle under B.C. law, triggering licensing, insurance, impaired-driving rules.

Overview

  • Officers stopped the pink Power Wheels near 15th Avenue and Nicholson Street around 9 a.m. on September 5 in Prince George, B.C.
  • RCMP say the driver, identified as Kasper Lincoln, had a suspended licence, failed roadside breath tests, was arrested for prohibited driving, and received a 90‑day driving prohibition with a court date set for December.
  • Lincoln told reporters he borrowed the toy to get a Slurpee and denies he had been drinking, and he plans to dispute the ticket.
  • Police cite safety concerns during the morning commute, saying the low, slow toy vehicle forced motorists to maneuver around it and posed visibility risks.
  • RCMP emphasize that any device on a public roadway powered by something other than muscular force is treated as a motor vehicle requiring a licensed, insured driver.
