Truckie busted nearly four times over the limit
The driver of a B-Double prime mover is facing serious charges after he was caught drink driving in Warragul overnight.
Police were called to the Princes Freeway just after 10 last night after motorists called Triple Zero to report a B-Double prime mover being driven erratically.
Officers intercepted the truck near the Drouin overpass where they witnessed him knock over a number of road signs before coming to a halt.
They breath-tested the 55-year-old driver who allegedly returned a reading of .195.
Acting Sergeant Ellane Clarke from the Warragul Traffic Management Unit says the man could hardly stand.
"I attended out at the scene. He was severely affected by alcohol. He was very slurred in his speech" she told Neil Mitchell.
"He would give no explanation to us at all as to why he's done what he has done,"
"I’m just horrified to see what I saw last night. I can’t believe that someone would get behind a 68-tonne truck and drive at that limit" she said.
The man from Junction Village has had his license suspended.
He's also expected to be charged with offences including reckless conduct endangering a person.

having been in construction industry i'd like to see the b double driver stripped of his licence for life unless he has a good reason for it. but the sad thing is it mightnt stop him driving on the road.but if he got caught again ,jail

Thank Heaven he was intercepted safely and before he killed anyone. Talk about "Death On Wheels"!

As a driver of a bdouble vehicle I am disgusted by the actions of this person.
This is what we dont need to hear or see.
People who do this make it so much harder for the people who do the right thing.

l agree with you Mike.These idoits need to be taken off the road. A few weeks ago, two female friends and myself were chased up the freeway to Geelong by one these idiots driving a lorry truck above the speed limit. No matter what we did,we couldn't shake him.You can imagine 3 terrified women up against a speeding lorry!! We are lucky to be alive! Dianne Coyle
