Drunk driver charged after blowing five times the legal limit

Police caught a man with a suspended licence drink-driving in Hoppers Crossing on Tuesday August 5.

Eye Watch Wyndham revealed that officers on patrol first spotted a Toyota Echo being driven erratically along Heaths Road about 7.15pm.

Police intercepted the Toyota and the driver was given a preliminary breath test, which returned a positive result.

After accompanying police to a local station, the driver undertook an evidentiary breath test where he returned an alleged reading of 0.269, more than five times the legal limit.

The 32-year-old man was issued an immediate driving ban and has been charged with drink driving and disobeying a red light.

His vehicle was also impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1225.

The man will appear before Werribee Magistrates’ Court on November 11.
