George Town Woman Exceeds Legal Limit by Four Times

A 48-year-old George Town woman was charged with high range drink driving, driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor and a number of traffic offences in George Town yesterday.

Police reportedly observed the woman speeding in a silver Ford Ranger on Main Road, George Town about 7.05pm, before performing an illegal u-turn and crashing into a residential fence.

The woman returned a breath alcohol reading of 0.225 percent, more than four times the legal limit.

She was arrested, disqualified from driving for 24 months and bailed to appear in the Launceston Magistrates Court at a later date.
