Port Fairy police Sergeant Dave Walkley said a 46-year-old Port Fairy woman was intercepted heading west on the Princes Highway at Rosebrook on Tuesday about 9pm.
She recorded a extremely high positive preliminary breath test and later an evidentiary reading more than four times the legal limit for a full licensed driver - .207.
The woman has an expired driver's licence and conditions of her licence include an alcohol interlock device fitted to any vehicle she drives and she also is subject to a zero alcohol condition, meaning she can't drive with any alcohol in her system.
Her car was impounded for 30 days, which will attract impoundment fees of $1325.
Sergeant Walkley said the woman was also wanted on a number of warrants for failing to appear in the Warrnambool Magistrates Court charged with driving and criminal matters.
He said she was meant to be at court couple of weeks ago, but did not appear and she has now been bailed to front court at a later date.
"That .207 is a very high reading, especially for someone without a licence and subject to both an alcohol interlock and zero alcohol conditions," he said.
"It's the second high reading we've had in a short time in Port Fairy after a .236 a couple of weeks ago.
"It's very disappointing people continue to drive when they are heavily under the influence of alcohol, putting themselves and everyone else on the roads at risk," he said.
Earlier: As part of ongoing Operation West Connect this week, Colac police highway patrol unit members were working in Warrnambool on Tuesday and intercepted a car at noon on Raglan Parade near Bell Street.
The 27-year-old man Warrnambool driver attracted the attention of officers after being clocked on radar at 90km/h in a 70 zone.
He was intercepted and recorded a positive preliminary breath test.
A drug oral fluid test was also positive for both cannabis and methamphetamine. That sample has been forwarded to the police lab for further analysis.
The man underwent an evidentiary alcohol breath test roadside which recorded a reading of 0.037, under the .05 legal limit.
It's understood the man had a big night out the previous evening.
The same officer also caught a driver travelling at 86km/h in a 60 road works zone at Garvoc earlier in the shift.
South-west police road safety adviser Senior Sergeant Chris Asenjo said police continued to be concerned at the growing numbers of drivers being caught drink and/or drug driving across the region.
"The message doesn't seem to be getting through and more flexible rostering and an increased focus on impaired driving enforcement is paying dividends," he said.
"The message is simple, if you are going to drink or use drugs, leave the car at behind.
"Police will increase road policing resources in the lead up to the Melbourne Cup and then into the Christmas period with several overt and covert operations targeting the main factors in road trauma - impaired driving, speed, distraction, fatigue and seatbelt compliance."

Senior Sergeant Asenjo said the south-west has had a shocking start to the year, which saw an unprecedented focus by local police on road trauma reduction.
"This will continue into the new year. Summer and Christmas are approaching and we want everyone to spend quality time with loved ones and friends and not attending hospitals and funerals," he said.
There have been 10 deaths on south-west roads this year, compared to eight for all of 2018.
The state's road toll is up 35 per cent this year, with the death of a man in Gippsland on Tuesday evening taking the road toll to 219, compared to 162 for the same time last year.
