Drinking and speeding

 At approximately 7:30pm on Wednesday, 29 August members from Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol intercepted a Renault van after it was detected travelling at 75km/h in a 60 zone.

The driver, a 41 year old man, was required to undergo a breath test which returned a positive result.

The subsequent evidentiary breath saw the driver return a result of 0.054.

As the driver had a previous drink driving conviction he was served a section 51 and his licence immediately suspended.

The driver will be required to attend court in the near future in relation to charges of drink driving and exceeding the speed limit.
