after she was also found to be transporting a huge stash of alcohol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The 31-year-old Northern Territory woman will face several charges &#8211; including two for medium range drink-driving and two for driving without a current licence &#8211; after being caught on the Stuart Highway at 5.30pm and then 8pm on the same day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">NT police found her learner&#8217;s licence had expired in 2017.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">At 5.30pm she returned a blood alcohol level of 0.125 at Pine Creek Police Station and after being released she was apprehended a second time, when her blood test result was 0.089.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\" style=\"style\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-efcf44106346b42d\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2021\/03\/26\/05\/40962332-9405153-image-a-31_1616735643202.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" \/><\/div>\n<p> <noscript> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-efcf44106346b42d\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2021\/03\/26\/05\/40962332-9405153-image-a-31_1616735643202.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/noscript> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The vehicle, a Toyota Hilux, was carrying nearly 30 litres of alcohol including whiskey, vodka, rum and 58 cans of beer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It is believed the alcohol &#8211;
