A Yarra Glen man, 32, had his car impounded on the spot after doing a burn-out at a Lilydale fast food restaurant.
In front of two marked police cars, from Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol, the man decided to do a 60m burn-out.
In addition to having his car impounded for 30 days, he will have to pay $997 in towing and storage costs to get his car back.
The man is expected to be charged on summons with careless driving, improper use, undue smoke and noise, failure to have control of a vehicle and other traffic-related offences.
The man was caught as part of Operation Amity, a Victoria-wide operation aimed at reducing road trauma on Australia Day and in the coming days.
