Driver involved in notorious Hwy 5 illegal passing incident no longer in Canada
The driver of a commercial vehicle involved in a now-infamous incident on Highway 5 between Barrriere and Clearwater in March is no longer employed by the company he drove for, and has left the country.
“Under the Motor Vehicle Act and the criminal code, offences have a term or period when — after that date expires — you can no longer forward charges. From the date of the offence we have up to one year to lay the charge. You can lay a charge by issuing a violation ticket or by what we call a long form, which is information that is sworn in court.”
“As soon as I saw that video, I told the guy he was fired,” said Gauman. “But Manitoulin stopped working with my company after that. I worked for them for a few years, but after that happened my trucks, six of them, sat in the yard with no work because of that guy. I think he went back to Italy or India, I’m not sure.
Both Keating and Martens later confronted the driver at a pull-out and passed on the information in a report to BCHP officers, who then took charge of the investigation.
