She says 2 drivers were found driving while suspended, 2 others were travelling without insurance or registration, and 4 drivers had their licenses suspended. Cpl Garland says Early Saturday morning, RCMP stopped a suspicious vehicle on the Trans-Canada Highway near Steady Brook. Moments later, in the same area, another vehicle was stopped. A 28-year-old Gander woman was ticketed for driving without registration or insurance. All vehicles were seized and impounded.
