David Warner Convicted and Fined for Mid-Range Drink-Driving in Sydney
Former Australian cricketer David Warner was convicted of mid-range drink-driving in Sydney after an April incident where he stopped short of a random breath test and attempted to switch seats with a passenger. He pleaded guilty and was fined AUD 1,500, ordered to use an alcohol interlock device for 12 months, and must hold an interlock licence. Warner's lawyer noted the impact of media coverage on his client's reputation and commercial opportunities, while the court acknowledged his remorse and completion of a traffic offender program.
