POLICE have arrested a man who was caught driving with a blood alcohol level almost eight times the legal limit.
About 7.10pm yesterday a 48-year-old Willunga man was arrested after police saw his vehicle being driven erratically along Richards Rd, Willunga.
He returned a reading of 0.383, almost eight times over the legal limit. He was issued with a 12-month immediate loss of licence and his vehicle was impounded for 28 days.
Then about 2.16am this morning, a 44-year-old man from Noarlunga Downs was stopped on Gulfview Rd, Christies Beach.
He returned a reading of 0.294, almost six times over the legal limit.
He was also issued with a 12-month immediate loss of licence and his vehicle was impounded for 28 days.
Both men will appear in court at a later date.
Police said they wanted to remind drivers of the consequences of driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol or drugs.
