A 34 year-old McKellar man, with a disqualified licence and on a good behaviour order, was arrested early on Sunday morning after driving at more than three times over the legal blood alcohol limit and spitting at police.

At around 1am his silver Mazda 6 with Queensland registration was tracked at a petrol station in Braddon. He had earlier failed to stop multiple times for police in the inner north.

The driver was subjected to a roadside alcohol screening test, which returned a blood alcohol concentration of 0.174. The legal limit is 0.05.

He will face the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday charged with drunk driving, driving while disqualified, breach of a good behaviour order and assaulting a frontline community service provider.

He was also served with an Immediate Suspension Notice, suspending his right to drive in the ACT for 90 days.
