An unlicensed Huntly mother found at more than four times the legal driving limit with three unrestrained children in the car is a "disgrace", police say.
And Western Waikato police area commander Inspector Naila Hassan has high praise for the member of the public who first spotted the woman weaving all over the road in the small north Waikato town on Friday night.
Hassan said the 32-year-old woman was arrested and will appear in court this week.
The incident occurred not far from Huntly police station.
After stopping the woman, police discovered she was not only intoxicated but had four children, aged between two and 10, in the car - three of whom were not wearing seatbelts.
