A 34 year old woman has been charged with failing to submit to a breath analysis twice in two days, in the Illawarra region.
She was pulled over twice across Wednesday and Thursday by police in Warilla and Oak Flats respectively.
The woman was pulled over on the Primbee Bypass Wednesday afternoon, originally taking a breath test, before refusing at the station.
“Police subjected the 34-year-old female driver to a roadside breath test, where she allegedly returned a positive reading” a police spokesperson said.
“She was arrested and taken to Port Kembla Police Station where she allegedly was unable to provide a sufficient result and then allegedly refused a subsequent breath analysis.
She was issued with a court attendance notice for refuse or fail to submit to breath analysis and her license was suspended.”
It wasn’t the end of it though, local officers finding the same vehicle in Oak Flats – but having more trouble initially.
“Officers approached the female driver who had parked in a nearby carpark and when police requested a breath analysis, she allegedly refused.
She was arrested and taken to Lake Illawarra Police Station for the purpose of a breath analysis, where she allegedly refused.
She was charged with refuse or fail to submit to breath test, refuse or fail to submit to breath analysis and drive motor vehicle while licence suspended. Her keys were confiscated for 24 hours.”
The woman was granted conditional bail and will appear in Port Kembla Local Court on Wednesday 22 October.
