P-plater in SA allegedly six times limit

A P-plate driver has lost his wheels after being nabbed at six times the legal alcohol limit in suburban Adelaide, police allege.

Members of the public reported the man's driving to police and officers nabbed him driving near Royston Park after 3pm (AEDT).

The Royston Park man, 35, was then taken to the local police station where he allegedly blew a reading of 0.304, despite his P-plater status requiring him to drive without any alcohol in his blood.

The man had his licence suspended for 12 months and his vehicle impounded for 28 days.

He will be summonsed to court at a later date on driving offences.
