A drink driver will spend the remainder of the long weekend without a licence or a car after she was caught driving over four times the legal alcohol limit in Noble Park last night.
Police responded to reports a car had hit a bollard in a car park on Namur Street around 10pm.
The 60-year-old driver returned an alleged evidentiary reading of .204 on a roadside breath test.
The Noble Park woman had her driver’s licence immediately suspended and her 2006 Citroen C4 was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $878.
She is also expected to be charged on summons with drink driving.
The impound forms part of Operation Compass, the state-wide road policing operation during the high-risk Anzac long weekend.
Police are targeting impaired driving, speed, distraction, and fatigue in high-risk areas throughout metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Operation Compass concludes at 11.59pm on Monday, 25 April.
