'Drink-driver' crashes into police car

A motorist in Melbourne's west proved both stupid and unlucky overnight when he crashed into an unmarked police car sitting outside a police station, then allegedly blew over twice the legal limit.


A Footscray man in his mid-40s slammed into the rear of a Maribyrnong traffic unit car parked outside Footscray police station about 8pm, causing minor damage to the police car. Police sitting inside it were also unharmed.


The man then allegedly blew .127 in a breath test immediately following the crash. His license was suspended and police say he will be charged with careless driving and being over the legal blood alcohol limit.


Hours later, police in Melbourne's east pulled over a Holden car three times in less than two hours. On each occasions there was a drunk or unlicensed driver behind the wheel.


The car was first stopped in Prahran at 1.15am in Chapel Street, Windsor. The driver, a 20-year old man still on his probationary license, reportedly blew 0.054 and is likely to be charged for drink driving and driving while disqualified.


Less than an hour later, Richmond police stopped the same car to find an 18-year-old woman behind the wheel.


She allegedly blew a reading 0.031 and left the Collingwood police station with a penalty notice for being over the limit and unlicensed driving.


Police and the Holden crossed paths again shortly after 3.00am in Church Street, Richmond to discover the same woman in the driver's seat.


The 18-year-old probationary driver from Forest Hill was once again issued with a penalty notice for unlicensed driving.

I thought in Australia a .127 BAC is considered "slightly buzzed".
