Colac Highway patrol intercepted the duo for a routine check about 10.45pm on Friday in Pirron Yallock.
Upon intercept, the driver switched seats with the front-seat passenger, which was observed by the attending members and recorded on the police in-car video footage.
The actual driver was found to be the holder of a learners permit and was in excess of the prescribed concentration of alcohol blowing a reading of .109.
His brother, a full licence holder and supervising driver, blew a reading of .110 - more than double the legal limit.
Both brothers were fined $772 each and will lose their licences for 10 and 11 months respectively.
