On the latest occasion, Jessica Moad, 28, of Spring Hill, was the passenger in a police pursuit before she hopped in the driver's seat.
According to police, Moad was observed as the passenger of a Holden Commodore that was allegedly driven by a man wanted by police.
The pursuit was terminated by police who then drove to Moad's Spring Hill address to await her return.
Some time later, the Commodore approached, this time driven by Moad with the man in the passenger seat.
Officers claim that upon seeing the police vehicles outside her home, Moad sped off down Carcoar Street.
Police did not pursue her.
The following evening when they did catch up to Moad, she admitted to driving the Holden early that morning and to also seeing police and continuing to drive.
Moad did not appear in Orange Local Court on Monday so was convicted in absence.
She was also fined $1650, disqualified for a further 12 months and sentenced to a Community Corrections Order.
