A disqualified driver in South Australia will be summonsed to appear in court after he was stopped by police – operating a child’s ride-on car.
The homemade vehicle, emblazoned with a pink decal and black stickers, had fitted the motor of a mobility scooter into the body of a car for children.
The driver returned a positive result when submitted to a drug test.
He will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.
The arrest follows the rollout of South Australia Police’s new shadow patrol cars in Riverland from Tuesday to Thursday this week to deter dangerous driving.
During the operation, police allegedly detected 25 drug drivers, issued 52 traffic expiation notices and defected 27 cars. Officers also issued 24 instant losses of licences and impounded two vehicles.
In another incident, a learner driver was clocked travelling at 127km/h. He also tested positive for cannabis.
The driver was issued an expiation notice for speeding and received a three-month instant loss of licence.
