Former Australian cricketer David Warner has accepted responsibility for a mid-range drink-driving charge in Sydney after allegedly blowing over twice the legal limit. He was stopped in April after drinking three glasses of wine and driving instead of taking Uber. His lawyer called it reckless. The case returns June 24 as he seeks leniency but expects punishment.
New Delhi: Former Australian Test cricketer David Warner will accept responsibility for a "reckless", "foolish" decision to get in his car after sharing a few glasses of wine, which resulted in a mid-range drink-driving charge, his lawyer said.
The former Test opener was charged with mid-range drink driving after allegedly blowing more than twice the legal limit in a random breath test after he stopped short of a roadside test in Sydney's east on April 5.
He was not required to appear in Waverley Local Court on Thursday when his matter was first mentioned. His lawyer Bobby Hill told the court representations had been made to police and requested the case be adjourned until late June for police to consider them and respond. His matter will return to court on June 24.
"He knows what he did was wrong. He accepts that was a reckless decision, a foolish decision to get in his car instead of taking an Uber. He had enjoyed three glasses of wine at a friend's apartment before making that decision," Hill was quoted by cricket.com.au.
