Wined and fined: Victorian driver loses licence after drinking wine behind the wheel

AutoExec Summary
A 24-year-old Victorian man lost his licence for at least 15 months after being caught drinking wine while driving, blowing more than four times the legal blood-alcohol limit. Nunawading Highway Patrol officers observed the man driving a Toyota Yaris with one hand on the steering wheel and the other wrapped around a bottle of wine on Whitehorse Road in Mitcham. The man was pulled over and blew a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.234, well above the legal limit of 0.05. His Toyota Yaris was impounded for up to 30 days, and his licence was immediately suspended. The man will face court at a later date and will have to undergo various penalties for his offense.
