Police were on patrol when they intercepted a Holden Commodore driving slowly on Station Street about 1.20am.

The driver, a 46-year-old man, returned a positive preliminary breath test and police found the driver had a slab of beer on the passenger seat.

He was taken to a police station where he returned an evidentiary breath test result of 0.246 per cent.

The Doncaster man had his licence immediately suspended for 12 months and is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving.
