An unlicensed 81-year-old out-of-state motorist drove an unregisted sedan on the grass median of Route 287 before she was stopped by police, authorities said.
Franklin Lakes officers responding to a call found the Rhode Island woman driving at a slow speed in the right lane of southbound Route 287 just before 9:30 p.m. Sunday, June 16, Capt. Robert Grassi said.
They stopped her near milepost 58, the captain said.
The driver told police she’d gotten lost and then got a flat, he said.
A computer check found that she has a suspended license and that the car’s registration had expired.
Officers James Iandoli and Christopher Heffner issued her several traffic summonses.
