Unlicenced drink driver stopped in unregistered car

A 31-year-old Merrylands (NSW) man will answer to drink driving offences in the ACT Magistrates Court next month after police on patrol in Conder arrested him early this morning (Sunday, 21 August 2022).

About 3.00am police stopped an unregistered red Ford Laser on Feint Street.

When officers spoke to the driver, he informed police he did not have a licence, and that he had been driving to get some food after drinking with a relative.

When the driver was subjected to breath analysis, he returned a level three blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.118. As the man does not hold a licence he is subject to a zero BAC.

The man will answer to charges of drink driving, using an unregistered vehicle, using an uninsured vehicle, and unlicenced driving on 22 September 2022.
