A 20-year-old man’s car has been impounded after he was caught allegedly doing burnouts while over the alcohol limit in Eildon last night.

Eildon police came across a Ford XR6 doing donuts in the local swimming pool car park about 5pm.

They quickly intercepted the vehicle, performing a breath-test on the Cranbourne driver who returned an alleged reading of .084.

He is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving, improper use of a motor vehicle, use unregistered motor vehicle and making unnecessary noise and smoke.

Officers also impounded the man’s car, which will cost him $1775 to have released in 30 days time.
