Police stopped the car and spoke to the 30 year old male driver. 

He failed a preliminary breath test and was taken to Mandurah Police station where he failed a second test.

The driver, who was two hours into his shift, was issued with an immediate disqualification notice and will be summoned to appear in court at a later date.
