A man’s car has been impounded after he was allegedly caught driving almost four times the legal alcohol limit in Frankston North this afternoon.
State Highway Patrol officers were conducting a breath testing site on Monterey Boulevard when they intercepted a Holden Commodore about 3pm.
The 52-year-old male driver allegedly admitted he had drunk half a bottle of vodka before rolling into the site and was on his way home from a liquor store where he had purchased another bottle.
The man, from Frankston North, returned an alleged evidentiary breath test reading of 0.186.
The man’s licence was immediately suspended, and his car was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1280.
He will also be charged on summons with drink driving offences.
