1. It’s important to practice drink driving while young:
A 14-year-old female drink-driver apprehended by police in Kambah early on Saturday morning had been out to practise her driving “while the roads were quiet”.
About 1.15am police were conducting a mobile patrol on Bacchus Circuit Kambah when they observed a green-coloured Mazda utility with four young persons on board. Police stopped the vehicle and performed a roadside screening test on the 14-year-old female driver.
The young person returned a positive result to the screening test and was conveyed to Tuggeranong Police Station where she returned a reading of 0.115 grams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.
As the driver does not hold a licence she is subject to a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.02 which makes her reading nearly six times her legal limit. All the young people in the vehicle appeared to be affected by alcohol and told police they had been drinking at the Kambah oval.
The female driver, from Weston Creek, was detained at Tuggeranong Police Station until she could be released into the custody of her mother. She has been summonsed to appear in the ACT Children’s Court at a later date.
