A 23-year-old man has been charged with multiple traffic offences, including hooning and drink-driving, after police intercepted him driving on the Tasman Highway at St Leonards.
The Newnham man's vehicle has also been clamped for 28 days, following his arrest on Tuesday evening.
About 5.15pm on 28 April, officers from Scottsdale Police were on mobile patrol when they observed a blue Ford Falcon performing burnouts at the intersection of Ables Hill Road and the Tasman Highway.
The driver did not hold a current driver's licence and police allege the man returned a breath alcohol reading of 0.027 per cent. Police will further allege the man was drinking alcohol while driving.
Other charges laid include operating a vehicle in a public place in an unnecessary execution of speed, acceleration, or loss of traction.
The man is scheduled to appear in court in July.
Road safety is a priority for Tasmania Police.
If you see unlawful and dangerous driving on Tasmanian roads, contact police on 131 444 or call 000 (triple zero) if it is an emergency.
