Police have charged a 55-year-old woman from Queenstown with drink driving offences after she returned a breath analysis reading of 0.212, yesterday afternoon.
The woman has been disqualified from driving for twelve months and will face court at a later date.
Sergeant Stephen Barrow from Queenstown Police said it is very disappointing that this driver chose to put other road users at risk by driving with a reading over four times the legal limit.
"Driving under the influence is one of the fatal five causes of fatal and serious injury crashes on our roads.
"Don't put yourself or other members of the community at risk.
"Police will continue to target dangerous driving behaviours such as drink driving in an effort to keep our roads safe."
Anyone who suspects someone may be driving under the influence is urged to contact police on 131 444, or Triple Zero (000) in an emergency.
