Two drunk drivers have caused havoc in the eastern suburbs overnight, both losing their licence on the spot – with one blowing five times over the limit.

A 44-year-old Glenunga woman has blown almost five times over the legal blood alcohol limit in the eastern suburbs last night.

About 8.45pm, police were called to a service station on Greenhill Rd, Glenside after reports the driver of a grey Volkswagen Polo sedan appeared to be intoxicated.

A witness observed the driver repeatedly drive into a bollard as she attempted to leave the servo.

Patrols arrived at the scene and spoke with the woman, who submitted to a breath test and returned a positive result of 0.245.

She was reported for drink driving, issued a 12-month immediate loss of licence and had her car impounded for 28 days.

She will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.
