Third time unlucky for alleged drunk driver

January 31, 2007

A WOMAN driving to a Brisbane court to face a drink-driving charge crashed into cars outside the building because she was drunk, police allege.

The 54-year-old woman's vehicle hit cars parked outside Cleveland Magistrates Court in Brisbane's bayside area yesterday.

The woman allegedly registered an alcohol reading of 0.262 - more than five times the legal limit.

She had been on her way to court to face a drink-driving charge from December 11 last year when she allegedly registered a reading of 0.25, police said.

Her licence was suspended after yesterday's incident.

She appeared in court and bailed reappear at a later date but police said she was allegedly caught again about 6.30pm (AEST), driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.211.

She was remanded in custody to appear in court today charged with driving drunk and driving while suspended.
