A British Columbia driver who blew more than three times over the legal limit after his Mercedes was involved in a two-vehicle crash nearly three years ago will get a lighter sentence because he was recorded on video in a police holding cell using the toilet.
Mounties arrested Gurinder Pal Singh Bajwa for impaired driving on May 11, 2022, after he rear-ended a white Hyundai Tucson in the parking lot of Wholesale Club. They found a copper cup that smelled like liquor in the console of his grey Mercedes sport utility vehicle and a bottle of Alberta Premium Whiskey in the back, along with a bottle of mouthwash under a jacket. The Hyundai’s driver told police that she could smell liquor on the breath of the driver who hit her and that he was unsteady on his feet.
