A Dunedin man who flipped his vehicle in Mornington on Wednesday night did nothing right, police say.

Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police were called to Glen Rd, Mornington, at 11pm on Wednesday after a man crashed into two parked cars and flipped his vehicle.

The 30-year-old man was "doing everything wrong", Snr Sgt Bond said. He was allegedly speeding while driving down the road, he was not wearing a seatbelt and was using his phone while driving.

The man also had no licence and had allegedly been drinking.

"As a result, he crashed into two parked cars and his vehicle flipped," Snr Sgt Bond said.

He underwent breath testing procedures and recorded a breath alcohol level of 491mcg. The legal breath alcohol limit for people over 20 is 250mcg.

The man was charged with driving with excess breath alcohol and will appear in the Dunedin District Court on December 20.
