Should have avoided Corona

Police have caught two drink drivers in Melbourne this morning.

Public Order Response Team (PORT) officers observed a Hyundai lose traction in West Melbourne about 3am.

They intercepted the car and spoke to the 32-year-old driver who returned a positive preliminary breath test before he furnished an evidentiary breath test of 0.135%.

The Wodonga man said he'd been drinking Coronas and Gin and decided to drive from Wodonga to Frankston to collect a friend.

His licence has been suspended for 13 months and he received a $702 fine.

He will have to apply to a Magistrate to have his licence reinstated and will be required to fit an interlock device.

Earlier in the morning a different PORT unit intercepted a Toyota HiLux in Flinders Street at 1.40am.

The 31-year-old man from Noble Park underwent a breath test and returned a reading of .116%

He received a $702 fine and his licence has been suspended for 11 months.

This man will also be required to apply to a Magistrate to have his licence reinstated and will be required to fit an interlock device.

The man had driven from Dandenong to Melbourne.
