ENFIELD: A Surrey, B.C. man’s visit to Nova Scotia may have ended on a sour note.
East Hants RCMP Community Policing Officer Const. Preston Burns said an officer pulled a vehicle over for speeding along Hwy 2 in Enfield on Aug. 29.
“Once contact was made with the driver, the officer detected and odour of liquor on his breath,” said Const. Burns.
“As such, a breath demand was read, and the man provided a breath sample.”

The 43-year-old man was subsequently given a seven-day driving suspension and his vehicle was towed.
“The roadside instrument registered a “warning” which indicates a blood/ alcohol concentration greater than 0.05% but less than 0.08%,” said Const. Burns.
The man will need to report his suspension to his insurance company.
Const. Burns said this will likely lead to a higher insurance premium for him in the future.
