An Eton man was allegedly drink driving near Moranbah on Tuesday morning.
The 47-year-old man was intercepted by police who were carrying out static road side breath tests.
He returned a positive RBT and later allegedly recorded a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of .073.
The man’s drivers licence was immediately suspended for 24 hours and he was issued a notice to appear at Moranbah Magistrates Court on January 14.
The static RBT site was part of a joint initiative between police and local industries to raise awareness of driver fatigue.
Representatives of Anglo American Coal and BHP assisted Moranbah police in road check points combining RBT’s and roadside drug tests (RDT) with fatigue questions and breakfast.
