An unlicensed driver has been charged with high-range drink-driving following a vehicle stop at Fairlight yesterday.
About 3.45pm (Tuesday 26 March 2019), police from Northern Beaches Police Area Command stopped a Mazda 2 hatchback on Parkview Road and submitted the driver to a random breath test.
A roadside breath-test proved positive, with checks revealing the 55-year-old male driver hadn’t held a licence for more than 10 years.
At the time, the man’s partner and three-year-old boy were passengers in the car.
He was arrested and taken to Manly Police Station, where a breath-analysis returned a reading of 0.252.
The Dee Why man was charged with driving with high-range PCA and driving while unlicensed.
He was granted strict conditional bail to appear before Manly Local Court on Wednesday 17 April 2019.
A notification has been made to Family and Community Services (FACS).
