A B.C. woman was fined $506 for falling asleep at the wheel of her Tesla on a rainy morning, violating laws requiring drivers to stay alert even with automated features.
A 37-year-old woman in Coquitlam, British Columbia, was ticketed for speeding and driving without due care after being caught asleep at the wheel of her Tesla on Highway 1 during a rainy morning rush hour on March 17, 2026.
Police observed her with eyes closed and arms crossed while the vehicle was moving, despite her claim of merely “zoning out.” In-car video did not support her statement.
Authorities emphasized that automated driving features are not legal in B.C., and drivers must remain fully alert and in control at all times, especially in hazardous weather.
She was fined $506.
