A driver on the NSW South Coast has been charged with high-range drink driving and had his licence suspended after he was allegedly caught twice in the space of three hours.
Highway officers were called to a property on the Princes Highway, Nowra just after 7.30am yesterday in response to a car that was stopped on a driveway, blocking access to a quarry.
