A concerned motorist contacted police after observing a station wagon driving north on the Captain Cook Highway in an alleged erratic manner.

Port Douglas police patrolled the highway and subsequently located the vehicle on the highway near Craiglie. Officers then intercepted the female driver on Old Port Road a short time later.

The driver allegedly returned a positive roadside breath test and subsequently returned a breath alcohol reading of .315, or just over six times to legal alcohol limit.

She was issued with a notice to appear in the Mossman Magistrates Court later this month, where she will face a charge of driving under the influence of liquor.
