Saanich police stopped a suspected impaired driver Thursday afternoon after calls from motorists about a road-rage incident on the Patricia Bay Highway, south of Sayward Road.

Callers said the driver was swerving and cutting people off, and at one point got out and confronted another motorist.

The vehicle, which was pulled over just south of Saanich Road, was damaged from a prior collision.

Police said the driver didn’t have a required ignition lock in place after a previous impaired-driving incident.

The driver’s breath sample registered a fail, leading to a 30-day vehicle impound and a 90-day driving prohibition.
