Imagine a police officer spots the boy who is mentioned in the following sentence and reports or calls another related police officer.When the first police officer said this sentence,
The boy driving the BMW is underage, unlicensed and over the limit.
Because he/she used reduced relative clause and because it is not clear whether or not the boy was driving the car and stopped or still driving the car,isn't there an ambiguity in the meaning ?
I mean I can understand in two way the original sentence.
The boy who is driving the BMW is underage, unlicensed and over the limit. (he couldn't be stopped)
The boy who was driving the BMW is underage, unlicensed and over the limit.( he was stopped)
To avoid from ambiguity , can we say native speakers do not use reduced relative forms in this case?
