Alleged drink-driver had three kids in car

A driver whose licence expired in 1990 has allegedly been caught driving while four times over the legal alcohol limit, and with his three children in the car.

The 52-year-old man, of Strathalbyn, near Adelaide, was stopped by police on Tuesday afternoon after picking up his children from school.

He was breath-tested and allegedly returned a blood alcohol level of 0.202 - more than four times the legal limit.

Checks revealed his driver's licence expired in 1990.

Police say he has been banned from holding a licence for 12 months, his car has been impounded, and he will appear in court at a later date.
