Mooroolbark Police were patrolling Cave Hill Road in Lilydale when they witnessed a Black Holden Commodore allegedly intentionally slide the back end of the car out, while going around the roundabout at Beresford Road, all in front of the marked police car.

The 18-year-old Badger Creek man has only had his licence for three months and will now have a date with the Magistrate for improper use of a motor vehicle and careless driving.

The vehicle was also impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1017.

Police will be out and about enforcing poor driver behaviour in the wet, to reduce the road toll, which currently sits at 82 lives lost to date this year.
