Police randomly intercepted his vehicle on Masons Road about midday and they returned a positive preliminary breath test.

The driver was then taken to a local police station where he returned a BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) of 0.279 per cent.

His licence was suspended immediately. He is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving.
