Woman six times over limit bust

A WOMAN charged with high-range drink-driving was allegedly six times over the legal blood alcohol limit.

The Erskine Park woman, who returned a reading of 0.324, came under the notice of police due to the manner of her driving.
Last Thursday about 1.40pm, Bankstown Highway Patrol were alerted by an off-duty police officer that a car was allegedly being driven in an erratic manner on Alfords Point Road at Illawong.
A short time later police stopped the car on Orient Street, Padstow and spoke with the driver, a 32-year-old woman. She allegedly returned a positive road-side breath test and was arrested.
The Erskine Park woman was taken to Revesby Police Station where she underwent a breath analysis, which returned a reading of 0.324 – over six times the legal limit.
Her NSW drivers’ licence was suspended, and she was issued a Court Attendance Notice (CAN) for drive with high range PCA.
