Police have nabbed a drink driver over twice the limit in Bulla today.
As part of Operation Amity, State Highway Patrol members were out and about in the Hume area this afternoon.
Officers initially detected the 56-year-old driver allegedly travelling at 99km/hr in a 60km/hr zone along Bulla Road about 3pm.
The driver was pulled over and undertook a preliminary breath test, which returned a positive result.
An evidentiary breath text was then performed, which returned an alleged reading of .122.
The driver from Sunbury had his licence immediately suspended.
His car was also impounded at a cost of $1064, and he is expected to be charged on summons with traffic offences.
This impound forms part of Operation Amity, a statewide road policing operation conducted over the Australia Day long weekend.
Police will be highly visible and enforcing in an effort to reduce road trauma, targeting impaired driving, speed, fatigue and distraction offences.
The operation commenced on Friday 23 January and runs until 11:59pm on Monday 26 January.
