Simone Jones, 25, of Hamilton Road, successfully applied for bail in the Warrnambool Magistrates Court on Monday.
Police have found she is facing at least 12 briefs of evidence but there could be more with positive drug samples taking months to progress through the testing system.
Jones told magistrate Peter Mellas she would not drive again and that spending the weekend in custody had "been a massive wake-up call".
The magistrate was not convinced, saying Ms Jones had been pulled up six times in the past couple of months.
"Why should I believe you?" he asked.
He adjourned the case for further hearing in the Hamilton Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
The magistrate ordered Ms Jones go back to live with her parents and he will have her assessed for her suitability to do a community corrections order on Wednesday.
