A SWAN Hill man has lost his license after allegedly returning a blood alcohol reading more than six times the legal limit in Beverford on Friday.
Officers were called to reports of a Nissan Pulsar driving erratically on the Murray Valley Highway about 8.50am.
Police intercepted the vehicle and spoke to the driver, a 44-year-old Swan Hill man.
He underwent a preliminary breath test, which returned a positive result.
The driver undertook an evidentiary breath test where he returned an alleged reading of 0.318.
He was issued an immediate 12-month driving ban and would be charged with exceeding the prescribed content of alcohol whilst driving.
His car was also impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1525.
