The son of NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller has been charged with drink driving while unlicensed after failing a breath test on the weekend.
Jacob Fuller allegedly blew .031 — which is an offence because of the zero alcohol limit on P-plate drivers.
The 20-year-old stopped short of a roadside breath testing station on the Princes Highway at Waterfall just before 3am on Sunday, police allege.
“After returning a positive roadside reading, the driver was subject to a breath analysis, which allegedly returned a reading of 0.031,” police said in a statement released today.
The reading is the equivalent to having one beer.
