A man has had his car impounded after he was detected drink driving in Campbellfield this morning.
The Roxburgh Park man was intercepted on the Hume Highway, allegedly travelling at 166km/h in an 80 zone, just after 1am.
The 30-year-old man underwent an evidentiary breath test which resulted in a blood alcohol reading of 0.166.
Acting Senior Sergeant Dean Pickering from Fawkner Highway Patrol said the man’s driving had put every other road users’ safety at risk.
“The consequences of this driver’s actions going wrong could have been fatal, not only for the offender but innocent other road users,” he said.
“None of us should have to share the road with people that think this behaviour on the road is okay.”
The car was impounded and the man will be charged on summons with drink driving and speeding offences.
