Police have charged a woman with drink driving offences after recording a breath test four times the legal limit following a traffic intercept in Palmview on 7 April.
Just before 9pm, a silver Honda Jazz hatchback was allegedly travelling northbound in the southbound lane of Frizzo Connection Road and narrowly avoided colliding with a marked police vehicle.
It will be further alleged the vehicle was travelling in excess of 100 kilometres an hour in a 60 zone.
The officer pulled the Honda over near the intersection with Pignata Road and conducted a roadside breath test, where it will be alleged the driver returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.204%.
A 26-year-old Morayfield woman was charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance and driving a vehicle under the influence of liquor.
She is due to face Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 28 April.
Maroochydore Sergeant Darren Nolan said there is no excuse for drink driving or speeding.
"It is the most dangerous and reckless display of driving I have personally witnessed in my 38 years of policing", he said.
"It was just pure luck and fortune that no one was seriously injured or even worse, killed."
