Magistrate Michael Stoddart sentenced Danielle Sutton, 30, in Nowra Local Court to four months’ jail.
The court heard Sutton was caught twice within 20 minutes on September 24 last year.
She was stopped on the Princes Highway at South Nowra at 4.10am when she was spotted on a roundabout driving without any lights on.
Officers discovered she was disqualified for two years and she was directed not to drive her car.
Twenty minutes later officers again found Sutton behind the wheel, this time at Worrigee.
She told officers she did not want to leave her car on the side of the road.
Sutton also pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified on October 20, when caught in Stuart Street, Nowra at 4.20pm. Police also discovered the car she was driving was unregistered.
She was again caught behind the wheel on October 25 on the Princes Highway at the intersection of Cambewarra Road in Bomaderry at 2.20am.
She had male passengers in the car, telling officers she “needed to drop them off”.
As well as her four-month jail term Magistrate Stoddart disqualified Sutton from driving for a further two years and fined her $500 after she also pleaded guilty to shoplifting $70 worth of groceries from Coles Nowra on April 18 this year.
