A SPEEDING drink driver has had his vehicle impounded after being caught at 160km/h on the Hume Highway.

The 27-year-old man was intercepted near Wangaratta early Friday while travelling interstate.

He returned a blood alcohol reading of about 0.1 and will be without his car for a month.

Acting Sergeant Darren Kalish said police would have an increased focus on dangerous driving as Easter draws closer.
