A drunk Dunedin driver had her car impounded after she was reported swerving between lanes on the Southern Motorway, police say.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said officers were called to reports of a woman driving erratically on the Caversham Valley Bypass (State Highway 1) about 4.30pm yesterday.
The woman was also the subject of an earlier complaint that she was asleep at the wheel, Snr Sgt Bond said.
Police signalled for the woman to stop but she carried on driving for another kilometre before stopping at a red light.
Officers intervened at the lights and the woman recorded a breath alcohol reading of 812mcg.
The vehicle was impounded and the woman has been charged with drink driving.
Investigations were ongoing, Snr Sgt Bond said.
