A drink-driver has allegedly driven at police after they tried to stop her for a breath test in NSW's central west.

The 57-year-old, whose licence had already been suspended until 2022, drove at officers as they approached her in a dead-end street in Coonabarabran on Friday night after she refused to pull over, police say.

Officers stopped the car by smashing the windscreen with a baton before the woman was arrested and blew more than three times the blood-alcohol limit.

She was refused bail to appear in the Dubbo Local Court on Saturday charged with multiple offences.
