Triple the limit in Mulgrave

A 32-year-old driver has lost her licence and had her Nissan impounded in Mulgrave late last night.

Nunawading Highway Patrol responded to reports of a white Nissan Patrol driving erratically on the Monash Freeway about 11.30pm.

Officers pulled over the Nissan and the driver allegedly claimed to have consumed three glasses of wine.

The driver then produced an alleged evidentiary breath test reading of 0.160, more than three times the legal limit.

The reading amounted to an immediate loss of licence for 12 months and the Nissan will be impounded for 30 days at cost of $1150.

The 32-year-old Lynbrook woman will be charged on summons for drink driving.
