Police have charged a 57-year-old woman after she allegedly recorded a breath test nearly four times the legal limit following a traffic intercept in Millmerran on 18 June.
Around 10.30am officers were conducting a static random breath test site on Mary Street when they intercepted a 2006 Nissan Patrol.
The female driver underwent a roadside breath test, which police will allege produced an initial positive reading. Upon completing a secondary breast analysis back at the station, it will be further alleged the woman produced a breath analysis sample of 0.195%, placing her over the legal alcohol limit.
The 57-year-old Millmerran woman was charged with one count of driving a vehicle under the influence and had her licence suspended.
She has been issued with a notice to appear in the Millmerran Magistrates Court on 17 July.
The Queensland Police Service is committed to reducing the number of lives lost on our roads.
As part of Operation Interpose, police are bolstering high-visibility patrols right across the state, engaging with road users and enforcing the laws to deter dangerous driving behaviours.
Queenslanders can expect police – anywhere, anytime. However, enforcement alone cannot stop all dangerous driving behaviours.
Driving under the influence, speeding, driving distracted or while fatigued, or not wearing a seatbelt puts your life – and the lives of others – at serious risk. These dangerous behaviours will not be tolerated.
Road safety starts with you.
