TWO Mount Gambier men were caught driving under the influence on Saturday.

At around 12.25am, a patrol stopped a car in Mount Gambier and the male driver underwent a breath test.

He returned a positive reading of 0.175.

The 37-year-old Mount Gambier man was reported for exceeding the prescribed concentration of alcohol, was issued a 12-month immediate loss of licence notice and his car was impounded for 28 days.

Police stopped a car on Wehl Street North at around 1.35am and the male driver underwent a breath test.

He returned a positive reading and was taken to Mount Gambier police station for further testing.
