ABBOTSFORD — A driver holding only an L licence learned about road rules the hard way last weekend, says the Abbotsford Police Department.

Early Saturday morning, on August 15, an officer witnessed a Volkswagen Jetta run a red light on Salton Road and cut off a marked police vehicle.

“The officer was forced to brake hard to avoid a collision,” said AbbyPD.

An officer then pulled the driver over after the vehicle was seen driving at around 80 km/h in a posted 50 km/h zone.
