A MAN has had his licence suspended after he was caught drink driving twice within 90 minutes yesterday morning.
At 4.45am, the 28-year-old Isaacs man was arrested after returning a positive road side screening test.
He recorded a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) reading of 0.180 and his licence was immediately suspended.
Police informed the man he would be summonsed for the drink-driving offence, and he was released.
Around 90 minutes later, the same man was caught again after police saw him driving a short distance from where he was originally taken into custody.
Breath analysis results indicated the male driver had a BAC reading of 0.153. The driver was arrested and charged with two counts of driving with a prescribed concentration of alcohol and driving while suspended.
He will face the ACT Magistrates Court on May 23.
