A woman has been spared jail after driving while high on ice, cannabis and MDMA - even after she violated her driving suspension.

Tahnikka Pope was caught by Queensland authorities on July 29 after a road-side saliva test came back positive. Her license was immediately suspended for 24 hours.

The 20-year-old did not heed the suspension and instead decided to drive to Rockhampton to visit family some 17 hours later, reports the Sunshine Coast Daily.

Police informed Miss Pope she had one day to hand her vehicle over to a nearby station for it to be impounded.

Police prosecutor Clancy Fox said that when they caught up with Miss Pope later she informed them she thought it was only her number plates they needed.

A check informed Mr Fox that she had indeed handed in her plates.
