A driver has a date with the local magistrate after a silly stunt caught the attention of police.

The driver allegedly did a burnout outside of the Pinjarra Police Station recently.

He was arrested and his vehicle impounded.

"Doing a burnout anywhere is dumb… doing it out the front of the police station is dumber," the Pinjarra Police Twitter post read.
