Mum caught twice for Drunk Driving to
school
A 48 year old woman was apprehended at a Compulsory Breath Testing site at 9am Thursday 25 September on Centaurus Road. She was en route to drop her primary school aged children off at school, and blew 1199mg, with the legal limit being 400mg.
The following morning, Friday 26 September 2008 she was apprehended again, at 8.45am, again en route to drop her children off at their primary school, and this time blew 695mg. O/C Road Policing Canterbury, Acting Senior Sergeant Greg Murton, said 'Compulsory Breath Testing will be occurring at all times of the day and night, and this is evidence of the dangers that drink driving poses, not only to road users, but in this case to children, pedestrians and parents, even before school.'
