On Saturday afternoon Macedon Ranges units from Kyneton and Gisborne responded to reports of cars driving erratically around Honour Avenue.
Police said within 10 minutes the vehicles involved were located and intercepted. Some driver education and a few penalty notices later for those involved, the driver was sent on their way back to Melbourne.
