Road safety experts have slammed a Perth woman who was allegedly caught driving more than eight times the legal blood alcohol limit.

Road Safety Commission spokesperson Chris Adams slammed the woman for getting behind the wheel.
"It's just a risk, not only to herself, but the community as well," he said.
