The Victorian Government is planning new laws aimed at people who drive under the influence of both alcohol and drugs.
Those caught will face a minimum fine of more than $2,800.
The laws will include new powers for police, allowing them to automatically impound the cars of first time offenders who record a blood alcohol reading of 0.1 or more.
Police Minister Peter Ryan says he believes Victoria is one of the only jurisdictions in the world to create a specific penalty for drivers with both alcohol and drugs in their system.
