Casey Highway Patrol members have intercepted a woman allegedly driving at more than three times the legal limit in Narre Warren earlier this morning.
The members intercepted a BMW Roadster Coupe on Fleetwood Drive just before 3am.
The 29-year-old female driver, who was the holder of a probationary licence, allegedly recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.162 in an evidentiary breath test.
The woman’s licence was immediately suspended and her car impounded for 30 days.
A registration check also revealed that her car was not registered.
She is expected to be charged on summons to appear at court on a later date.
This impound forms part of Operation Nexus, a five-day focus on keeping our community safe on the roads during the Easter long weekend.
The state-wide operation aims to reduce road trauma, including the number of lives lost and injuries on our roads.
During this time motorists can expect to be breath tested and drug tested, have their vehicles scanned and be checked for speeding.
The operation involves all available personnel including local road policing units, general duties, other operational policing units and centralised resources from Road Policing Command.
The operation starts at 12.01am on Thursday 9 April and concludes at 11.59pm on Monday 13 April.
