A woman missed out on her fast-food order in Mornington overnight after being caught driving erratically at a McDonalds drive-thru while three times over the legal alcohol limit.
In a statement, Victoria Police said officers responded to reports of a woman driving erratically at the drive-thru on Nepean Highway at around 11.45pm on Saturday.
“Officers approached the vehicle and gave the 56-year-old driver a preliminary breath test which returned a positive result,” Police said.
“She was conveyed to a police station for an evidentiary breath test, where she allegedly returned a reading of .149.
“The Somerville woman did not get what she ordered. Her car was impounded and she will be charged on summons with driving offences.”
