A taxi driver has lost his licence after being caught over the limit in Hadfield overnight.
Officers had set up a testing site on Sydney Road and pulled the Toyota Camry taxi over just after 1am.
The male driver allegedly blew .058 on a preliminary breath test at the scene.
Instead of attending a police station for an evidentiary breath test, the Camry allegedly sped off north on Sydney Road.
No passengers were inside the vehicle at the time.
A few hours later, police located the vehicle heading into a driveway on King Street in Dallas.
Officers attempted to give the taxi driver another breath test, but he allegedly refused.
The vehicle was impounded, and the 27-year-old Dallas man is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving offences.
Police continue to have a highly visible presence on the roads to reduce trauma and save lives, and are out anywhere, any time.
