A learner driver is facing court after hitting a parked car in the Illawarra Region and returning an alleged blood alcohol reading of 0.310, NSW Police say.
About 9pm yesterday (28 October 2018), a man was driving a Subaru Liberty west along Russell Street at Woonona when the Subaru has hit a parked Holden SUV.
Local residents came out to see what had happened. The owner of the Holden was able to reach into the Liberty and turn off the vehicle.
Police arrived and the driver returned a positive roadside breath test.
The 41-year-old man was arrested and taken to Wollongong Police Station. A subsequent breath analysis returned a reading of 0.310.
He was charged with High Range PCA, being an unaccompanied learner driver and driving an unregistered motor vehicle.
The 41-year-old will appear in Wollongong Local Court on 20 November, 2018.
