A 25-year-old Launceston man has been charged with drink driving offences after he was intercepted by police this afternoon in Mowbray and returned a reading of 0.360. That’s more than 7 times the legal limit. 

He was issued an automatic licence disqualification for 12 months and will appear before the Launceston Magistrates Court tonight. 

Police remind all motorists that driving under the influence is one of the fatal five causes of fatal and serious injury crashes on our roads. 

Drivers are reminded to never drive if they’re over the limit, you’re putting your life and the lives of others at risk.
