Patrolling Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol members were successful in catching a repeat drink driving offender in Lilydale on Saturday 22 January.
The car was seen driving the wrong way through the McDonald’s car park on Maroondah Highway and a check of the number plate showed that it was issued to another vehicle.
The 54-year-old male driver was found to be disqualified due to a previous drink-driving offence.
The man returned a positive Preliminary Breath Test (PBT) and later returned an Evidentiary Breath Test result of 0.194.
His vehicle was immediately impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1,017.
He will face Court charged with drink driving, disqualified driving, affix false plates and using an unregistered motor vehicle.
