A 48-year-old man who told police he had consumed two bottles of wine prior to driving from Jerrabomberra to Gungahlin has lost his licence for 90 days.
About 6pm last Friday (4 April 2025), officers from Gungahlin Police Station were conducting patrols when they came across a collision between a blue Toyota Hilux and green Suzuki Jimny on Anthony Rolfe Avenue.
No one was injured as a result of the collision, but police suspected the driver of the Toyota was under the influence of alcohol. The 48-year-old man underwent a roadside alcohol screening test, which indicated a positive result for alcohol.
He was taken to Gungahlin Police Station to undergo a Breath Analysis Test where he recorded a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.387 - seven times the legal alcohol limit.
The man was issued with an Immediate Suspension Notice, suspending his ACT drivers’ licence for 90 days. He will also be summonsed to face charges of drink driving before the ACT Magistrates Court at a later date.
