Disqualified driver allegedly blew almost six times over limit in Brisbane's north

Police have released footage of a driver swerving across the Gateway Motorway in Brisbane's north, who allegedly later blew almost six times the limit.

Officers were called to the Nudgee stretch of the motorway on June 9 after reports of a woman driving dangerously.

Dashcam footage shows the alleged drunk driver bouncing off roadwork barricades, narrowly missing a tree and swerving across lanes.

The car was later pulled over on Childs Road where police said the disqualified 40-year-old driver appeared to be affected by alcohol.

The Caboolture woman was taken to Pine Rivers Watch House and allegedly blew .297.

She was charged with high range drink-driving and driving without a driver's licence and is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on June 30.
