A man has lost his license after allegedly returning a blood alcohol reading more than six times the legal limit in Beverford last week.
Officers were called to reports of a Nissan Pulsar driving erratically on the Murray Valley Highway about 8.50am on Friday morning.
Police intercepted the vehicle and spoke to the driver, a 44-year-old Swan Hill man.
He underwent a preliminary breath test, which returned a positive result.
After accompanying police to a local station, the driver undertook an evidentiary breath test where he returned an alleged reading of 0.318.
He was issued an immediate 12 month driving ban and will be charged with exceeding the prescribed content of alcohol whilst driving.
His car was also impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1525.
