Driver blows five times the limit

Just after 8pm on Friday 13 November, Northern District patrols were on Winsham Street, Davoren Park, when they stopped a Mercedes sedan and spoke with the driver.

The 28-year-old driver was subjected to a breath test, which police will allege returned a positive reading of 0.285, almost six times the legal limit.

The driver was reported for drink driving and breaching the conditions of her provisional licence. She was issued with a 12-month instant loss of licence, and her vehicle was impounded.

She will be summonsed to appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court at a later date.
