Man charged with mid-range DUI
On Sunday morning police were conducting stationary breath testing on the New England Highway, Maitland. Police stopped a male driver in a black Suzuki Grand Vitara and submitted him to a breath test, which proved positive.
As a result he was arrested and conveyed to Maitland Police Station where he underwent a breath analysis which provided a mid range positive alcohol reading. The male driver had his licence immediately suspended and was charged.
He will appear at Maitland Local Court in January. Police would like to remind drivers over the Christmas and New Year period that drink driving is a crime.
If you are planning to drink, be smart. Either:
- Share a taxi with a friend
- Catch public transport
- Ride with a driver that hasn’t been drinking or taking drugs
- Arrange for a friend or relative to give you a lift home.
