The Bittern man then returned a positive evidentiary breath test roadside with an alleged reading of 0.269.
He was issued an immediate licence suspension for 12 months and has been charged on summons with exceeding the prescribed content of alcohol whilst driving, driving under the influence and careless driving.
His car was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1304.75.
