A 38-year-old Manor Lakes man was caught drink driving over five times the limit in Albion on September 4.

The Holden was intercepted, and the driver underwent a preliminary breath test which returned a positive result.

He accompanied police to a local station and underwent an evidentiary breath test, where he returned an alleged reading of 0.290.

The man was issued an immediate driving ban and will be charged on summons with exceeding the prescribed content of alcohol whilst driving, as well as other driving offences.

His car was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1014.90.
