Monday morning madness in Mornington

A P-plater has had his license suspended and vehicle impounded after allegedly blowing nearly three and a half times the limit of a fully licensed driver in Mornington overnight.

Officers performed a routine intercept on the Holden Commodore utility on Roberston Drive about 12.55am.

The 18-year-old driver was spoken to by officers before he returned a positive preliminary breath test.

The probationary P1 license holder was transported back to a police station where he returned an alleged evidentiary reading of .174.

His vehicle was impounded for a period of 28 days at a cost of $1275 and his license was immediately suspended for a period of 12 months.

The Mornington man is expected to be charged on summons.
