Taupō District Councillor Anna Park has today (Friday, February 28) admitted to driving with excess breath alcohol on Saturday, November 9 last year.
In a media statement Park said she deeply regretted her actions.
“My decision could have endangered others and, even though I was alone in the car, the risk I took was unacceptable.” (Full statement below).
Park, in court under the surname Pickering, made the plea in the Auckland District Court on Friday afternoon having been charged with driving on Wairakei Drive while the proportion of alcohol in her breath was 804 micrograms per litre (exceeding the allowable 400 mcg/alc/per litre of breath)
