Picture this: a dude in Canada decided that driving a pink Barbie Jeep during rush hour was the way to goâbecause who needs a fancy car when you can roll up in a toy, right? Our host dives into the hilarity of this real-life story where a full-grown man thought he was just taking his roommate's kid's ride for a Slurpee run. But plot twistâhe gets pulled over, not for speeding (because letâs be real, itâs a Power Wheels), but for driving while impaired! Yeah, you heard that right! Turns out, in Canada, if you're not using your legs to power it, it counts as a motor vehicle. Cue the giggles as our host breaks down this absurd moment, complete with the guy's shocking defense: âI didnât think you could get a DUI in a Barbie truck!â Spoiler alert: you can! So, while he faces a 90-day driving ban, his only ride home is back to realityâno motorized toys allowed!
Transcript
A man in Canada was ticketed for driving a pink Barbie Jeep during morning rush hour.
Speaker A:It's not a metaphor.
Speaker A:It's not a joke.
Speaker A:A full grown adult man cruising down an avenue in Canada in a toy Power Wheels Barbie Jeep Wrangler.
Speaker A:Because apparently his roommate's daughter's ride was the most logical choice for.
Speaker A:For a Slurpee run.
Speaker A:Cops pulled him over.
Speaker A:Not.
Speaker A:Not because he was speeding, top speed maybe five miles an hour, but because he was technically operating a motor vehicle while impaired.
Speaker A:Turns out in Canada, if it's powered by anything other than your own two feet, yes, it counts.
Speaker A:And yes, he blew over the legal limit.
Speaker A:His defense.
Speaker A:I didn't think you could get a DUI in a Barbie truck.
Speaker A:Spoiler alert.
Speaker A:You can.
Speaker A:The best part, The Barbie Jeep was not even impounded.
Speaker A:It was returned to the rightful owner, a child, while he faces a 90 day driving prohibition and a court date in December.
Speaker A:Poor guy.
Speaker A:Takes some guys a long time to recover from that divorce thing, I guess.
Speaker A:If you're gonna get pulled over, at least make it Instagram worthy.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's not a dui.
Speaker A:It's a DWI driving while imaginative thing.
Speaker A:The law says you can't do that.
Speaker A:He says he can.
Speaker A:If this guy doesn't get together pretty soon, he'll be leaving the dream house for the big house.
Speaker A:My guess is people made fun of him for driving a cyber truck, so he traded it in for something less embarrassing.
