A NSW man who was pulled over for high-range drink-driving in Sydney's north got straight back behind the wheel, police say.

Officers noticed the 44-year-old's unregistered car in Frenchs Forest about 6.30pm on Saturday before he allegedly recorded a blood-alcohol level of 0.264 - more than five times the legal limit.

His licence was immediately suspended but police allege he was back behind the wheel about an hour later.

His second breath test recorded a slightly lower level of 0.229.

Police were forced to confiscate his car keys to prevent him driving further.

The man was charged with high-range drink-driving, driving an unregistered vehicle and driving while suspended.

He will face Manly Local Court on April 26.
