AN unlicensed driver had her car impounded after being caught driving down the wrong side of Peninsula Link, 4am, Wednesday 20 September. Members of the Frankston Highway Patrol narrowly avoided a collision with the woman who was driving south in the northbound lane. They chased her for three kilometres and managed to pull her over at the Cranbourne Rd exit. The 48-year-old, of Somerville, claimed she had “swerved to miss a possum” and was unaware she was in the wrong lane. Senior Sergeant Mick Lamb, of Frankston police, said there was “real potential for a catastrophic outcome” in the incident. The woman’s car was impounded for 30 days and she will be summonsed on a range of driving offences, possibly including conduct endangering life.
