A Victoria Harbour man on suspension not to drive for the last 21 years ran out of luck while behind the wheel in Orillia.

Around 10 p.m. on Thursday, OPP say officers were on patrol in the area of Coldwater Road and Emily Street when a vehicle was spotted with its high beams on approaching police.

"As a result, police conducted a traffic stop observing the vehicle hit the right-side curb. Through investigation and speaking with the male driver, police determined the driver was impaired and, on a suspension, not to drive for the last 21 years," police said in a news release on Friday.

The 46-year-old accused has been charged with impaired by alcohol and drugs, refusal to comply with a demand and possession of cocaine.
