The 59-year-old New Norfolk man was charged with high-range drink driving on Monday morning, blowing 0.16.
After he was caught by police and charged, the man was bailed to appear in court next year, only to be caught again on Monday afternoon.
Shortly after he was released, police noticed the man’s car was no longer parked where they left it.
After viewing CCTV footage from the area, police realised the man had grabbed spare keys and hopped back behind the wheel.
Police then found the car and clamped it.
But later in the afternoon, the man was spotted again driving the car, with the clamp still attached.
He is now facing additional charges of driving without a license, driving while disqualified and breaching bail.
He was remanded in custody and is expected to appear in court on Monday night or Tuesday.
