A Croydon man has had his licence suspended after he allegedly blew more than six times the legal alcohol limit while driving with children in the car.
Officers intercepted his vehicle on Maroondah Highway about 8pm on Sunday 14 August.
The 43-year-old driver underwent a preliminary breath test which allegedly indicated alcohol on his breath.
There were two children, aged six and eight, in the car at the time.
The driver was subsequently taken to a police station where he underwent a breath test which allegedly returned a blood alcohol reading of .312.
His licence was immediately suspended and he is expected to be charged with drink driving and reckless driving offences.
