B.C. family's vehicle impounded after cop concludes passenger is intoxicated

Here’s a real doozy for you to wrap your head around! A B.C. woman was recently slapped with a 90- day Immediate Roadside Prohibition for being an intoxicated passenger in a vehicle with a sober driver. The woman in question had attended a Christmas party with her husband earlier in the evening. After the leaving the party, the woman’s twenty-two year old son provided both she and her husband  with a safe, sober ride home.  However, when going through a roadblock, the woman (who was occupying the passengers seat) was pulled out the vehicle and made to undergo a breathalyzer.  When she failed, her sons vehicle was taken for 30 days and her license was prohibited for 90 days.
