Police are urging drivers to remember the very real consequences of drink driving after two high range detections over the weekend.

“With two high range drink drivers detected over the weekend, it’s timely to remind all motorists of the very real dangers of driving under the influence,” said State Road Safety Coordinator, Inspector Gary Williams.

“When a driver gets behind the wheel under the influence, they face the very real risk of crashing and killing or seriously injuring themselves, and others.”

“I implore any driver who thinks drink driving is acceptable to think again. We all have a part to play in keeping everyone safe on our roads – not just police,” said Inspector Williams.

• On Friday around 11.20pm, police intercepted a male driver on Old Main Road at Bridgewater. The driver returned a reading of 0.286 on a roadside breath test. He was charged with drink driving offences and immediately disqualified from driving for a period of 2 years.

• Around 6.25pm last night, a 30-year-old male driver crashed his car into a parked car on Blackwood Parade at Romaine. The driver was subject to a breath test and returned a reading of 0.260. He was charged with drink driving offences and disqualified from driving for a period of 12 months.
