A P-plater has lost his licence and had his car impounded after inadvertently alerting police to his hoon and drink driving at more than twice the legal limit.
About 12.30am Sunday, police and CFS were called to Plains Rd at Aldinga after a teenager reported his car on fire.
The driver allegedly told police the engine of his Ford ute had overheated, however when emergency services arrived, the rear of the car was engulfed in flames.
Police believe the driver had popped his rear tyres doing a “burn out” and attempted to drive home on the rims, which caused the car to catch fire.
The driver was breath tested at the scene and allegedly blew 0.134.
A 17-year-old Aldinga boy was reported for aggravated misuse of a motor vehicle, drink driving and two counts of breaching his provisional conditions by breaching midnight curfew and drink driving.
He lost his licence for six months on the spot and had his care defected and impounded for 28 days.
He will be summonsed to face court at a later date.
