Nunawading Highway Patrol officers have busted a man speeding and drink driving in a school zone at Mulgrave this afternoon.
Officers intercepted a white van travelling on Police Road between Springvale Road and Dunoon Street about 2.35pm.
The van had allegedly been clocked at 56km/h in the active 40km/h school zone.
Things went from bad to worse when the driver returned a positive roadside alcohol test.
He subsequently returned an evidentiary breath test reading on .210, more than four times the legal alcohol limit.
The 49-year-old Springvale man told officers he had consumed 10 beers prior to getting behind the wheel.
His licence was immediately suspended.
The man's vehicle was also impounded for 30 days and he will be summonsed to face court at a later date.
