A Doreen teenager has lost his license for three months and has been issued with more than $1200 in fines after being pulled over by police on Sunday morning.
Police intercepted a Toyota Hilux after it was detected travelling at 91km/h in a 60 zone on Ironbark Road, Yarrambat just before 10am.
The driver returned a roadside breath test of .047.
Matters only got worse for the teen when it was revealed his P1 probationary licence had expired.
He was issued with three penalty infringement notices totalling $1280, for drink driving, speeding, and unlicensed driving.
This intercept forms part of Operation Compass, a road policing operation aimed at keeping the community safe on Victorian roads.
Police continue to use an intelligence-based approach to target locations and major arterials law-breaking drivers are expected to be, as people from metro Melbourne head to regional Victoria.
This includes behaviour such as speeding, drink and drug driving, people not wearing seatbelts, mobile phone use and fatigue.
