A driver from Brockville, Ont. is facing charges after being stopped on Highway 416 while on his way to Ottawa for a date, according to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).

The driver was stopped shorthly before 12:30 a.m. Sunday after an officer performing a traffic enforcement received a notification from the cruiser's Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) camera indicating that the car's registration was expired.

When the driver was stopped, police found that car was uninsured, police say.
