Early Morning Drink Driver Nabbed In Traralgon

Police were performing a routine intercept in Traralgon when they discovered a driver almost five times over the limit yesterday.

Officers intercepted the vehicle on Cross's Road about 10.20am to perform a random breath test.

The driver, a 60-year-old woman, returned a positive preliminary breath test before returning to a nearby station for an evidentiary test, where she returned an alleged reading of 0.239.

As she was test driving a vehicle from a local car dealership, the car could not be impounded.

The vehicle was returned without damage.

The woman from Traralgon was served an immediate driving ban and will face court at a later date.
