A 42-year-old Bicheno woman has been charged with high range drink driving and disqualified from driving for 12 months after she was detected over four times the legal alcohol limit at around 11:50am yesterday.

The woman was intercepted in the Bicheno area by police and returned a reading of 0.222 after breath analysis.

The woman received an automatic 12 month driving disqualification and will appear in court at a later date.
