Last week, Victoria Police issued its first ever notice to surrender for a heavy vehicle, after the driver was caught driving with a suspended licence.
The Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol detected the truck doing a delivery on the Princes Highway in Hallam at around 2pm, on Thursday May 30.
The 33-year-old male driver from Berwick was found to have a suspended license due to a prior drink driving offence.
He was issued a notice to surrender the truck for a period of 30 days at a cost of $675.
He will also be charged on summons with drive whilst suspended and breach alcohol interlock condition.
Victoria Police says this is the first time in its history that a heavy vehicle has been surrendered – which is the equivalent of a vehicle impound.
