A 23-year-old man from Stirling will face the ACT Magistrates Court after being caught more than three times the legal alcohol limit.

About 10.45pm on Friday 8 December, police conducted a traffic stop on a Toyota Hilux on Streeton Drive, Weston.

The man underwent a breath screening test which was positive. He was subsequently transported to Woden Police Station, where he returned a breath analysis of 0.180 grams of alcohol per 210L of breath.

The driver was issued an immediate suspension notice, suspending his right to drive in the ACT for 90 days.

The man will face the ACT Magistrates Court at a later date charged with drink driving.

ACT Policing is urging drivers to plan ahead before a night out heading into the festive season, as penalties can and will be imposed on those caught drink driving.
