David Warner Fined and Ordered Alcohol Interlock After Drink-Driving Conviction
Former Australian cricketer David Warner was convicted of mid-range drink-driving in Sydney after an April incident where he attempted to swap seats with a passenger to avoid a random breath test. He pleaded guilty and was fined AUD 1,500, with a 12-month order to install an alcohol interlock device that prevents his vehicle from starting if alcohol is detected. The court acknowledged Warner's remorse and low risk of reoffending but emphasized the seriousness of drink-driving. His lawyer noted the impact on Warner's commercial opportunities and public image.
