A 32-year-old learner driver on a solo trip to buy donuts has tested positive to drugs at Portarlington, according to police reports.
To make matters worse the woman told officers she was scheduled to sit the test for her P plates the next day, according to a police social media post.
The Lara learner ran afoul of the law on Newcombe St at 10.15am on Wednesday on her way to a local donut store, the post read.
The woman’s car first caught the attention of Geelong Highway Patrol officers due to its loud exhaust, police said.
When police pulled the woman over they discovered she had only a learner permit and no fully licenced driver beside her in the car, they said.
The driver also returned a positive oral sample for drugs and would face a magistrate following the incident, police said.
“I can also inform you that police were not in the area visiting the donut shop themselves,” the police poster said.
