A would-be drunk driver was stopped from getting behind the wheel tonight after she posted on Facebook asking if there were any police breath checks in the area.
The woman asked a community Facebook group, which the Herald has decided not to name: "Anyone know if theres any police checkpoints between...Need to [get] my kid to hosp and. Ive had a. Few.'' (sic)
Many members of the public were shocked and upset, with one writing: "Everyone keep off the road!''
Another posted: "Is this chick for real?''
The Herald brought the post to the attention of police after a reporter spotted it about 8pm.
