Cairns police are disappointed with motorists, after 23 drink drivers were detected over a 48 hour period on the weekend.
Driving under the influence of alcohol is hazardous to all motorists on the roads, let alone driving during extreme weather conditions.
A 17-year-old learner driver from Kewarra Beach allegedly lost control and crashed his motor vehicle on the Captain Cook Highway at Trinity Beach at about 10:30pm on Saturday. The man was charged with drink driving, driving unaccompanied on a learner permit, driving an unregistered and uninsured motor vehicle, and using false registration plates. He is due to appear in the Cairns Magistrate Court on March 21.
