A 31-year-old Merrylands, NSW man will answer to drink driving offences in the ACT Magistrates Court next month after police on patrol in Conder arrested him early this morning, Sunday 21 August.

About 3am today, ACT Policing officers stopped an unregistered red Ford Laser on Feint Street, Conder.

When officers spoke to the driver, he informed police he did not have a licence, and that he had been driving to get some food after drinking with a relative.

When the driver was subjected to breath analysis, he returned a level three blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.118. As the man does not hold a licence, he is subject to a zero BAC.

The man will answer to charges of drink driving, using an unregistered vehicle, using an uninsured vehicle, and unlicensed driving when he appears in court next month, 22 September.
