A Fernhill resident recorded a breath-alcohol level of 1125mcg and might also face a careless driving charge, Sergeant Steve Watt said.
The 29-year-old man allegedly crashed his vehicle into a ditch on the Glenorchy Rd on Sunday. A member of the public helped him tow it out and subsequently contacted police to say they believed the man had been drinking.
``Police then attended the scene and made further inquiries at his home. Police were about to leave when he pulled in in his vehicle.''
A 31-year-old local man, who had a breath-alcohol level of 561mcg, crashed into a parked vehicle on McBride St.
A 20-year-old male was stopped by police while he was ``driving his mates into town''.
He recorded a breath-alcohol level of 609mcg.
Other significant results were recorded including one of 563mcg and a couple of under-20 drivers whose level was over 175mcg.
Sgt Watt said the dangers of drink-driving were well known.
``There was an increase in the number of EBAs over the weekend period. We will be focusing on this in the coming weeks.
``The message is simple: drink-driving is dangerous.''
