Woman caught driving drunk twice in two days
A woman has been caught drink driving, a day after being disqualified for being four times over the legal alcohol limit with a child in her car, police allege.
The 35-year-old was stopped by police in the northwest Tasmanian town of Wynyard on Thursday evening.
She refused an initial breath test, was arrested for driving while disqualified and later returned a blood-alcohol reading of 0.163 - more than three times the legal limit.
