A 20-year-old man from Ulverstone was caught more than three times over the legal alcohol limit in Wynyard on Saturday morning.

The man, who was an unaccompanied learner driver, returned a breath analysis reading of 0.172.

He was arrested and bailed to appear in court at a later date and was disqualified from driving for a period of 12 months.

Drink driving and speeding are two of the fatal five factors contributing to our road toll, and places drivers, passengers and all other road users at risk of serious injury due to the increased likelihood of causing a crash.
