Even though her vehicle was blocking a drive-thru in Vaughan, the Toronto woman denied that she was the driver.

Her subsequent exchange with York Region police ended with the woman being charged with impaired driving.

In a news release Wednesday, police said they were called to a restaurant near Hwy. 7 and Keele St., shortly after midnight Friday, for a report of a driver refusing to move their vehicle from a drive-thru.

The driver had not ordered any food, but was stopped at the window of the drive-thru and would not respond to employees of the restaurant, police said.

When officers arrived, they spoke with the woman who was standing beside the car. They alleged that she “was showing signs of impairment.”

In the dashcam video released by police, the woman denies that she was driving when asked for identification.

“I wasn’t driving, I was just ordering some food,” the woman told an officer.

“How did the vehicle get here?” the officer asked.

“I don’t know, I was just ordering some food,” the woman replied.

The exchange continued, with the officer asking repeatedly to see identification.

“Ma’am, how did you get here?” the officer asked.

“I obviously drove. But, like I wasn’t ready to drive anywhere, like further,” the woman replied.

The 34-year-old was arrested and brought to a station, where she allegedly blew over the legal limit of alcohol in a breath test.

She faces two impaired-driving related offences.

Police say that this was one of 26 incidents over the long weekend where drivers were charged with drinking and driving.
