Sober drink driver pinged for not using interlock device

A Junction Hill woman has been charged with an unusual drink-driving offence, say police.



"Lismore police will allege that in August 2018, a 28-year-old Junction Hill woman was convicted of a High Range PCA Offence," crime prevention officer Senior Constable David Henderson said in a post on the Richmond PD Facebook page.


"Part of her sentence was to only drive a car with an interlock device once her disqualification period ended.


"At 11:40pm on Tuesday police stopped a car on Hunter Street Lismore which the 28-year-old was driving.


"She provided a negative reading for alcohol, and police noted that the car did not have an interlock device fitted. The 28-year-old was also unable to produce her drivers licence.


"The 28-year-old was issued a Field Court Attendance Notice for 'Interlock holder - not have approved device installed' and issued an infringement notice for not carrying her licence.


"She will appear at Lismore Local Court in September."
