P-plater off road A P-PLATER who obtained her driver’s licence in December had it suspended for 11 months last week on drinkdriving counts. The 18-year-old, who was driving south along Point Nepean Road, Rosebud, without lights, will be summonsed to appear at Dromana Magistrates’ Court at a later date. Rosebud Police spotted the white Ford Festiva at 3.30am, Saturday 1 May. The driver, of Mount Martha, was taken to Rosebud Police Station where she allegedly returned a breath test reading of 0.115 per cent. Her car was impounded for 28 days.
Mop up after mixer flips
‘Looking lost’ MORNINGTON police have charged a man with drink driving and other traffic offences after he allegedly crashed into two parked cars and a fence in Canadian Bay Road, Mount Eliza. The 32-year-old, from Mornington, allegedly walked away from the scene before police arrived, 4.30am, Thursday 29 April. Soon afterwards, police were called following reports a man had been seen walking around “looking lost in a dressing gown”. He was found nearby and taken back to the police station where he allegedly returned a breath-test reading of 0.192 per cent. The man’s licence was suspended and he is expected to be charged on summons with exceeding 0.05 per cent, careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident.

A TRUCK rollover closed the left-hand lane of Peninsula Link south-bound for four hours, Monday 3 May. The cement mixer, loaded with 13 cubic metres of concrete weighing 13 tonnes, flipped after the driver tried to correct a drift into the inside lane. Sergeant Bruce Buchan, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said the truck veered into shrubbery and ploughed through a light pole, 2pm. The driver, a Springvale man, 56, was not injured in the incident and did not require hospital treatment. Sergeant Buchan said two heavy haulage trucks were required to right the mixer near the Golf Links Road entry ramp. He said a Peninsula Link clean-up crew using a frontend loader arrived soon after to clear concrete from the road surface while an EPA crew mopped up spilled oil. South-bound traffic was redirected onto Golf Links Road and along Fulton Road or the Moorooduc Highway. Sergeant Buchan said the incident was being investigated.
