The woman wasn’t the only one to be caught drink driving on local roads over the last week.

A man has lost his licence for a year after blowing nearly four times the blood alcohol limit in Corio over the weekend, with the 50-year-old allegedly driving with a blood alcohol reading of 0.195.

Meantime, a 47-year-old man from Highton was lucky to be caught before hurting or killing other road users, when police allegedly found him driving erratically with a massive reading of 0.317 – more than six times the legal limit – last Wednesday night.
