A P-plater has been caught driving at almost four times the legal alcohol limit on the Mid North Coast.
Police say that at about 5.30pm on Saturday, a member of the public contacted police about a man allegedly driving while intoxicated at Moonee Beach.
A short time later, officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District stopped a Holden Commodore on Moonee Beach Road.
The driver, a 32-year-old man, was spoken to by police before he was subjected to a roadside breath test, which returned a positive result.
The Dalmeny man was arrested and taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station where a breath analysis returned an alleged reading of 0.197.
The P1 driver was given a court attendance notice for high-range PCA and is due to appear at Coffs Harbour Local Court on December 7. The man’s licence has been suspended.
