Busted trying to beat the booze bus

A woman is expected to be charged after allegedly driving straight through a booze bus site in Frankston South last night, Victoria Police say.

The woman entered the site on the Nepean Highway, but failed to stop with Somerville Highway Patrol officers trying to wave her down shortly before midnight.

She was eventually caught up with about 500 metres down the road.

The 58-year-old, who was unlicensed and driving an unregistered vehicle, returned a positive preliminary breath test.

She was taken back to the bus for an evidentiary breath test, returning an alleged reading of 0.198 per cent.

Her vehicle was immediately impounded at a cost of $1042.

The Frankston South woman is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and other traffic-related offences.
