Red means stop🤚👮🚓
At 11:30pm on 07/06/2026, Rosebud Police observed a white Toyota Corolla fail to stop at a red light at the intersection of Point Nepean Road and Hygeia Street, Rye.
Police intercepted the vehicle, which was occupied by the driver and three passengers. The driver returned a positive roadside breath test for alcohol and was subsequently conveyed to Rosebud Police Station for further testing.
The result? An evidentiary breath test reading of 0.219 — more than four times the legal limit.
The driver ignored the red light. Unfortunately for them, the consequences weren't so easy to drive past.
• Immediate 12-month driving ban
• 30-day vehicle impoundment — costing more than $1,200
• A pending summons to appear at the Magistrates' Court
The only thing higher than the driver's BAC was the cost of the mistake. Drink driving? Don't.
