Ontario police say a driver who was transporting more than a dozen people in a van without a proper licence, seatbelts, or working seats earlier this week is facing over 25 charges.
OPP told CTV News Toronto police stopped a van that appeared to be “over-filled with passengers” on Tuesday morning on Highway 10 as it was travelling through Caledon Village.There were 16 people in the unregistered commercial vehicle at the time of the stop including the driver, who police said was a “novice” and did not have the required bus licence to transport that many passengers.
On top of that, police said, the seatbelts in the van were not working and the seats in the back were not secured to the vehicle floor. When a second vehicle arrived to pick up the passengers, a police inspection found its brakes were defective and it too had faulty seatbelts. Images of the traffic stop posted to social media showed both vehicles being taken off the road. At the time that post was made, police said the passengers and the driver were waiting for a third vehicle to pick them up.Remember the vans stopped yesterday? WE DO! Same driver, new van, different day. Overloaded, improper license, no seatbelts, no insurance, & more! This 1 driver has been stopped 3 times and is facing over 25 charges. Some people never learn.
