A 37-year-old man is facing court after allegedly drink-driving and causing a collision at the North Narrabeen Surf Life Saving Club car park on Saturday evening.
NSW Police were called to the car park on Ocean Street at around 6.30pm on 28 February following reports of a two-vehicle crash.
Officers from Northern Beaches Police Area Command and Traffic and Highway Patrol Command attended the scene and were informed that a black 2013 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet had allegedly reversed into a stationary silver 2013 Toyota Prado.
The two occupants of the Toyota Prado, both in their thirties, were not injured in the incident. The driver of the Volkswagen also escaped injury.
When police conducted a roadside breath test on the Volkswagen driver, he allegedly recorded a positive reading. The man was subsequently arrested and transported to Mona Vale Police Station for further testing.
A secondary breath analysis allegedly returned a reading of 0.126, which falls within the mid-range prescribed concentration of alcohol category in New South Wales.
The man has been charged with attempting to drive a vehicle with a mid-range PCA and was granted conditional bail. He is scheduled to appear at Manly Local Court on 6 May 2026.
Police suspended the driver’s licence immediately, with the suspension to remain in place pending his court appearance.
According to NSW legislation, first-time offenders convicted of mid-range PCA face maximum penalties of up to nine months’ imprisonment and fines of up to $2,200. Mid-range drink-driving offences also carry an automatic licence disqualification period of 12 months upon conviction.
