Couple caught drink-driving in Vic

A husband and wife have been caught drink-driving a mere hour apart in regional Victoria.

The couple were in their car, with the wife driving, when they were stopped for a random breath test in Bendigo on Friday night.

The 53-year-old returned a result of 0.098, and lost her licence for six months.

Her husband, who had been waiting about 50m away with the car, decided he did not want to wait for a taxi and got in the driver's seat.

Police intercepted the 55-year-old about one hour later.

He returned a result of 0.125 and might lose his licence for a year.

The Bendigo couple were fined more than $1000.
