POLICE have arrested two drivers for high level drink driving in the past two days, with one driver caught twice in two hours.

On Wednesday at about 1:45am, a 44-year-old Flynn female driver returned a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) reading of 0.200, four times over her legal limit.

The woman was issued with an Immediate Suspension Notice and her license was seized by police.

In a separate incident around 3:30am yesterday, a 26-year-old Weetangera man, returned a BAC reading of 0.109.

The man’s license was suspended and he was released from custody, summoned to appear in court at a later date.

About two hours later, police stopped the same car in Belconnen, where the same driver returned a BAC reading of 0.099.

The man was charged with two counts of drink driving and one count of driving while on a suspended license. He is scheduled to appear in ACT Magistrates Court next Tuesday.

Officer-in-Charge of Traffic Operations Sergeant Rod Anderson says police are targeting alcohol and drug impaired driving over the next three months and are determined to apprehend and prosecute people who make the thoughtless decision to drink and drive.

“It is unacceptable that drivers such as these continue to show such disregard for the law and the safety of other road users,” he says.

“If you think you can avoid police by drink-driving in the early hours of the morning, think again –all police patrols will be undertaking breath testing duties 24/7 so your chances of being caught are very high.”
