Driver a hazard at Salisbury Downs

Police spotted the Toyota sedan driving in the bicycle lane, with two flat tyres, no headlights but with the hazard lights activated on the Salisbury Highway at Salisbury Downs at 3am on Wednesday 5 June.

They pulled the vehicle over and the driver, a 27-year-old Salisbury man, recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.172 - more than three times the legal limit.

Police checks revealed he was already disqualified from driving.

He was reported for drink driving and driving while disqualified and issued with an additional 12-month instant loss of licence.

His vehicle was impounded for 28 days and he will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.
