It took 100 years for one Saanich man to tarnish his perfect driving record. The
centenarian was stopped for speeding in a school zone Tuesday, a shock
to a Saanich traffic officer when she saw the 1911 birthdate on a
driver’s licence, which was good for another five years. The
traffic officer pulled over the 100-year-old driver in a Buick Century
when he was spotted going 50 kilometres an hour in a school zone, where
the limit is 30 kilometres an hour. The man had a flawless driving record, so the traffic officer gave him a warning ticket. “I
was shocked, not only at the 100 years of age, but the brand new
five-year renewal driver licence,” said Const. Janice Carmena.
