A Melbourne woman was filmed driving her Mazda CX-9 on just three tires in Melbourne’s north-west on Thursday, with police alleging she was drunk.

Victoria Police said several motorists contacted Triple 0 after the car was seen driving on bare rims on the Calder Freeway at around 3.20pm.

Police later found the car at the 53-year-old primary school teacher’s address in Essendon.

The driver accompanied officers to a police station where she was breath tested and allegedly returned a blood alcohol concentration of 0.139.

The car was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $913.70, and Victoria Police said she was expected to be charged on a summons for drink driving and traffic offences.

“She just looked oblivious or didn’t want to engage with anyone, looking straight ahead,” one witness told 7News.

“My wife tried to say ‘Excuse me, excuse me’ and she went completely silent and ignored us.”

The witness said she finally stopped at Bottlemart, where she allegedly bought a bottle of vodka. Another witness followed her to her home, where the police caught up with her.

A similar incident happened in Orange County in the US state of California last year, where a woman was found driving on the highway with three wheels and an open trunk.

A nearby driver recorded the incident, documenting him trying to get her attention, which she mistook for a wave.

The biker told KTLA 5 that he and another driver pulled in front of the woman to slow her down and direct her off the highway.

After catching up with the Audi driver, he questioned her about what she was doing and why she was driving recklessly.
