A 27-year-old Spreyton man has been charged following a single motorcycle crash at Penguin in May.
Police were called to the incident about 3.50pm on Monday, 18 May, after a motorcycle crashed on a train line at Penguin Road, Penguin.
Officers attended and located the rider at the scene. Investigations established the man was unlicensed and the motorcycle was unregistered.
The rider was taken into custody for the purpose of a blood test. Subsequent analysis returned a reading of 0.310, more than six times the legal limit.
The man was arrested on warrant yesterday, and charged with exceeding the prescribed alcohol limit, driving while not the holder of a licence and using an unregistered motor vehicle.
He was bailed to appear in court at a later date and issued a Road Safety Disqualification Notice for a period of 24 months.
Inspector Adam Spencer said the incident highlighted a number of serious risks to the community.
"This was a serious incident where a rider made a number of dangerous and unlawful decisions before getting on the road," Inspector Spencer said.
"The man returned a blood alcohol reading more than six times the legal limit, placing not only himself at significant risk but also anyone else who could have been in the area."
"Driving while unlicensed, in an unregistered vehicle, demonstrates a complete disregard for road safety laws."
"It's fortunate this crash did not result in more serious consequences."
"Police will continue to hold motorists to account, and we remind all road users that alcohol and riding or driving simply do not mix."
