A 31-year-old Crestwood (NSW) man was caught by police driving at three times the legal alcohol limit on Monday morning (December 6).
About 10.26am, police saw the man’s black Toyota Corolla travelling about 35km/h in the 60km/h zone on Southern Cross Drive in Latham.
When the driver stopped for police, he stated he was travelling slowly as his manual car struggled to go up hills, and he was looking for an address.
The man was then taken into custody for breath analysis, and at Belconnen Police Station returned a blood alcohol reading (BAC) of 0.142.
The man’s right to drive in the ACT was immediately suspended for 90 days, and he will receive a summons to face court for level three drink-driving on a date to be fixed.
