KEY POINTS:
A Greymouth woman who drove herself to the police station to get a ride home because she was too drunk to drive, had her licence automatically suspended last night.
Sergeant Dave Cross said the woman was apprehended right outside the police station.
"She was breath tested and subsequently processed for driving with an excess breath alcohol."
Because the woman's reading was twice the legal limit - 850mg- her licence was automatically suspended.
The 46-year-old was later given a ride home by police.
