Drunk driving mower

A Manitoba man is facing an impaired driving charge he was stopped driving a lawn mower down a road leading to the Trans-Canada Highway. The 41 year old was pulled over on his John Deere riding mower around 2:00 Saturday morning as he was headed to a gas station to get some cigarettes. He told police he thought riding the mower was more reasonable than driving his car. The Mounties said it’s still impaired driving.
