Former Australia batsman David Warner was convicted and fined approximately $8,300 for drink-driving by a Sydney court on Tuesday after being arrested in April.
Warner, one of Australia’s most decorated cricketers, pleaded guilty after failing a breath-test on the Easter weekend when driving his family home in Sydneys eastern suburbs after a social function.
The 39-year-old’s blood-alcohol reading was more than twice the legal limit.
Waverley Local Court heard Warner stopped his car when he saw the roadside breath-testing site and attempted to swap seats with a female passenger.
“(But) regrettably, drink-driving is still a significant factor in many crashes in New South Wales.” The offence was aggravated because children were in the car at the time, Judge Farnan said.
