Kingaroy Police have been kept busy over the past week with a string of traffic incidents.
On Wednesday, a 21-year-old man was pulled over in Alford Street and then taken back to Kingaroy Police Station and charged after he allegedly refused a breath test.
On Saturday, a 36-year-old woman pulled over on Recreation Drive at Memerambi was charged with the same offence.
Acting Officer-in-Charge of Kingaroy Police, Acting Senior Sergeant Brad Johannesen said the penalty for refusing a specimen of breath was equivalent to a high-range drink driving charge.
