A woman has been caught allegedly driving nearly five times over the legal limit in Hamilton early this morning.
While on patrol, the Hamilton divisional van crew driving east on Coleraine Road, intercepted a station wagon driving directly towards them, on the wrong side of the road, on 28 September about 1.50am.
The driver and sole occupant underwent a preliminary breath test before returning a positive evidentiary breath result of .228.
A 56-year-old woman had her license immediately suspended and car impounded at a cost of $1445.
The Hamilton woman is expected to be summonsed to appear at a magistrate's court to answer to drink driving and traffic charges.
This intercept forms part of Operation Scoreboard, a statewide road policing operation coinciding with the AFL Grand Final long weekend in Victoria.
Police will be highly visible and enforcing across the state's roads in an effort to drive down road trauma.
Operation Scoreboard runs until 11:59pm Sunday 29 September 2024.
