Two men have been caught drink driving in separate incidents in the southern suburbs.

About 3.20am on Tuesday 13 October, Aldinga police stopped a Holden station wagon on Roy Terrace at Christies Beach to conduct random breath test. The driver, a 35-year-old man from Christies Beach, allegedly produced a blood alcohol reading of 0.126, over twice the legal limit.

He was reported for drink driving and issued with a six-month immediate loss of licence. His vehicle was impounded for 28 days, and he will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.

Aldinga Police stopped a Holden SUV on Atlantis Avenue at Seaford Meadows just after 1.30am on Monday 12 October and submitted the driver to a breath test. The driver was a 47-year-old man from Seaford Meadows who allegedly produced a blood alcohol reading of 0.078.

He was issued with an expiation notice for exceeding the prescribed concentration of alcohol totalling $1012 and lost four demerit points.
