On Friday, September 5, police found themselves dealing with something that looked like an episode of “Jackass” in production. A full-grown man piloted a hot pink Barbie Jeep down a busy road at 9 a.m.

According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the driver wasn’t just playing dress-up

He was Kasper Lincoln, an adult with a suspended license. And, as it turned out, alcohol in his system.

Photos from bystanders quickly landed on social media. The surreal scene (tiny wheels, plastic bodywork, and morning traffic stacked up around it) went viral.

Police stopped the Jeep, which Mattel says tops out around 5 miles per hour, and determined Lincoln was prohibited from driving

Two breath tests confirmed he was impaired. He was arrested for prohibited driving and also told CBC he’s facing a DUI charge.

Lincoln later explained he had a craving for a Slurpee and decided to borrow his roommate’s daughter’s ride to make the trip.

He claimed it was the first time he had taken the Barbie Jeep out and now plans to dispute the charges.

While some might see humor in the story, police said the risks were clear

Other motorists had to swerve around a low-slung toy Jeep on a road where no one expects one. 

That put Lincoln at risk too, since drivers aren’t conditioned to watch for a neon pink children’s vehicle at bumper height.

Lincoln also told CBC he had one lesson to pass along after the incident: Don’t drink and drive.
