Over the weekend, Blue Mtns HWP issued 7 drivers with penalty notices to drivers for Exceed Speed Limit - Over 30kph, with the offences occurring across the mountains. On Friday evening, in response to complaints from the public a HWP unit intercepted a van being driven west along the Great Western Hwy. The driver subsequently failed a road side breath test and was arrested. He was taken to Springwood Police Station where he returned a breath analysis result of 0.162. It was also established that he was also a disqualified driver. He was charged with these offences & granted conditional bail to appear at Penrith LC in 3 weeks time.
