Driver allegedly caught five and a half times over the limit

A woman has had her car impounded after she was allegedly caught five and a half times over the legal limit in Pakenham on Wednesday, 11 June.

Cardinia Highway Patrol officers were on patrol when they spotted a white MG wagon travelling southbound on McGregor Road about 11.55pm.

Officers intercepted the vehicle on Park Boulevard, and the 43-year-old driver underwent a preliminary breath test at the scene.

She then underwent a roadside evidentiary test, where she returned an alleged reading of 0.263.

The woman’s licence was immediately suspended for 12 months, and her vehicle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1445.

She is expected to be charged on summons with traffic offences.
