TWO young woman were caught driving several times over the limit in Tennant Creek overnight.
A 25-year-old female driver was pulled over for a random breath test at around 9.15pm last night, with a later breath analysis providing a reading of 0.209.
She was also found to be driving without a license.
Later, at around 10.35pm, a 28-year-old female driver was pulled over for a breath test which later gave a reading of 0.256.
She was also found to have a disqualified licence and an expired vehicle registration.
Both women were charged with High Range drink driving as well as driving unlicensed and driving with a disqualified licence respectively.
“We will continue to remove these unauthorised drivers from the road,” said Southern Watch Commander Shaun Furniss.
“The high alcohol reading show these females have a total disregard for their own and others safety.
