A 13-year-old boy has been charged with drink driving after police pulled him over for his erratic behavior on the road, authorities said Sunday.

New South Wales police said they spotted a car driving strangely late on Saturday at a holiday park near the north coast town of Kempsey.

"Police stopped the car and found the driver to be a young boy, who had a 30-year-old front seat passenger," police said in a statement.

The boy was tested and found to have a positive reading for alcohol and has been charged with a number of offenses including drink-driving and driving while unlicensed.

His passenger was also charged with aiding and abetting a drink driver and with permitting an unlicensed driver, police said.
