The driver, a 24-year-old man from Prince George, was given a $483 ticket and had his truck impounded. 

At the time of the violation, it was -1ºC. 

"This incident is a clear disregard for the safety of all road users, including himself," said Cpl Craig Douglass.  

"Any number of things could have easily caused a serious collision that almost certainly would have caused at least one death. There is no excuse for his actions."
