Two male drivers who made the mistake of having a ‘traveller’ while driving were intercepted by a Booze Bus in Kyneton last Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leading Senior Constable Brett Magrath of the Macedon Ranges Highway Patrol said the two drivers learned a valuable lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They were over the limit on the testing line but after an anxious wait and testing in the bus, were under,” LSC Magrath said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Lesson learnt. They committed the offence of ‘consuming an intoxicating liquor while driving\u2019.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
LSC Magrath said 569 drivers were tested on the day and no other offending was detected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the first ‘traveller’ driver had driven from Melbourne with two dogs in his car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As he was escorted into the bus, his vehicle was moved off the line by a police officer,” LSC Magrath said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They parked it on the other side under a tree out the front of Cobaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As the police officer climbed out of the vehicle the driver\u2019s dog got away. It was busting (to relieve itself) and would not return to the police officer\u2019s call.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LSC Magrath said the dog watered several trees and after about five minutes returned to the vehicle and jumped back in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
