WINNIPEG — A Manitoba man found driving a lawn mower on a road leading to the Trans-Canada Highway in the dark has been charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle.
RCMP say officers pulled over a man on a John Deere riding mower in the rural municipality of Headingley at around 2 a.m. Saturday.
The man told the Mounties he was heading to a gas station to buy smokes and figured it was “responsible” to ride his lawn mower instead of a car.
A 39-year-old woman was along for the ride.
