LATROBE: Morning drinks for woman, 60


Police were performing a routine intercept in Traralgon when they discovered a driver almost five times over the limit on Wednesday morning (Nov. 26).
Officers intercepted the vehicle on Cross’s Rd 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.
