A HEALESVILLE woman has been arrested after racking up more than 145 demerit points on the road, and is expected to front court in the near future.
Yarra Glen Police Sergeant Richard Coulson said that, about 8.50pm on Sunday 15 November, a resident called police about a driver allegedly driving erratically in Yarra Glen.
The driver, a 32-year-old Healesville woman, was arrested on an outstanding warrant, and will front Ringwood Magistrates’ Court, charged with driving while suspended.
Sgt Coulson said the woman had 145 outstanding demerit points, the highest he had ever seen from a driver.
A fully-licensed driver can only accrue 12 demerit points before losing their license – P-platers can accrue five.
The woman’s car was also impounded on the spot for 30 days, and will cost $1280 to retrieve.
