The 41-year-old man underwent a preliminary breath test, before accompanying members to a nearby station where he returned an alleged evidentiary result of .319.
The Hampton East man had his car impounded for 30 days at a cost of $999.50 and is expected to be charged on summons with traffic offences.
Sergeant Daniel Burton, Bayside Police Station, said: “Police would like to thank the members of the public who assisted by calling Triple Zero in relation to their observations of an allegedly erratically driven vehicle.”
