A California Gully man has lost his license, had his vehicle impounded and is expected to be charged on summons after allegedly blowing five times the limit in Ardeer yesterday.
Police were called to reports of a Toyota Fortuna driving erratically on the Hume Highway in Fawkner about 2.40pm on Thursday 30 October.
It is believed the vehicle was seen swerving, tailgating, colliding with barriers and involved in several near misses before officers from Fawkner Highway Patrol intercepted the vehicle on Ballarat Road in Ardeer.
The 46-year-old driver, who was allegedly located next to several open cans of alcohol, returned a positive preliminary breath test and was transported to a police station.
He later returned an alleged breath alcohol reading of 0.250.
The man's license was immediately suspended for 12 months, his vehicle was impounded at a cost of $999 and he is expected to be charged on summons.
