A Doveton woman has had her driver’s licence immediately suspended and her vehicle impounded for 30 days after she was caught driving at more than five times the legal blood-alcohol limit in Langwarrin.

The 43-year-old’s silver Kia Rio sedan was pulled over by Carrum Downs police officers during a routine intercept on Warrandyte Road about 12.40am on Sunday 27 February.

At a police station, her breath test allegedly returned a reading of .250.

She is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and other traffic related offences.
