Car with 'N' sticker caught on camera cruising the Stanley Park Seawall

Astonished walkers didn't know quite what to make of the couple in the blue Pontiac compact seen blithely cruising along the Stanley Park seawall Friday morning.

Was it a case of GPS gone horribly wrong? Or were they just clueless sightseers?

The car, replete with "N" sticker indicating new driver, started its journey at Third Beach before moving to Second Beach and onto English Bay.

At each stop, the male driver pulled onto the beach and parked and he and a woman jumped out to take photos.
According to CBC photographer David Horemans, who witnessed the escapade, the little car tried to jump the curb twice at English Bay before the driver discovered the ramp down to the beach near the Inuksuk statue.

After being approached by Vancouver police, the couple left the seawall by driving across the field at the Ceperly Park Playground.

According to Horemans, the woman told police she worked for the City of Vancouver, although a city spokesman could not confirm whether that was true.

Vancouver police report the man claimed he had been hired to remove logs from the beaches. CBC was unable to confirm that information with the city parks department.

CBC was able to confirm that the car was not a city vehicle.

According to Vancouver Park bylaws section 14 (g), vehicles are prohibited from driving on footpaths and promenades in any park.

I feel like if they're looking at removing logs they'd be in one of those city trucks or something.

IDK the lady has pretty thick black hair. Looks pretty Asian to me.

Badhobz 01-19-2019 01:37 PM

Yeah but Asian people wouldn't come up with such a horseshit story or drive a chevy avaio.

MG1 01-19-2019 03:59 PM

Yup, that's so non-Asian, man. The car, the stupidity, the way the dude looks, etc. Chinese are just bad drivers, not dumb ass stupid, drivers. Blind, no sense of direction, easily confused, etc. but not total asshats.

that's just redneck territory


just saiyan............

How did he even get there.. I cycle around the sea wall each summer and there is no way a car can be driven on those uneven surface

You guys are mean.

Anyone who drives an Aveo is clearly mentally unwell.

But it was co-developed with Toyota.
Surely GM can't mess up such a great foundation, can they?

:troll:

I used to work at the park for a few years as my first job. Spent quite a bit of time on the beaches working. There's more than enough employees and service trucks in the park to do this and I have a hard time believing that they were contracted. The article says they were seen attempting to jump a curb... if they were contracted they'd have the keys to specific gates and driving across the field would guarantee them to never be hired again + she's not wearing the best steel toed boots to be working with logs on a beach.

Complete idiots and I hope they get a rather large fine.
