Good vibrations caused bad driving, court hears

VANCOUVER
A British Columbia man offered a novel defence at his impaired driving trial to explain why his car was weaving on the freeway, causing him to be pulled over by police.

Kristopher Lind said it wasn’t the 10 beers and a double cocktail he’d consumed earlier.

He said his attention wasn’t fully on his driving because his wife was using a vibrator bought that day at a sex show in Vancouver.

“Would it be fair to say that you found this distracting?” asked defence lawyer Bruce Ralston.

The accused, a 28-year-old car rental employee from Langley, agreed.

“She was really enjoying it,” Lind testified.

He recalled he and his wife had been to the sex show on Jan. 16, 2005, where they bought some lingerie and a vibrator. After the show, they went with another couple to two strip clubs and a nightclub.

Lind denied Thursday that he was driving while drunk. The judge will give his verdict March 28.
