Caroline Springs police intercepted an alleged drunk driver more than four times the limit in Caroline Springs this morning.
The Caroline Springs van was out patrolling when they noticed a vehicle stop in the middle of a roundabout on Caroline Springs Boulevard around 3.30am.
The vehicle then allegedly used two lanes to go around the roundabout, without indicating.
