A South Australian man’s festive cheer may be a little dimmer after allegedly drink-driving his Christmas-themed car through a busy public space in Adelaide.
On Sunday evening about 8.20pm, a grey Mazda Astina decked out in Christmas lights, ornaments and other decorations was spotted driving along a footpath in Henley Square, a busy public space restricted to pedestrians and cyclists only, in Adelaide.
Police were called to the scene and began speaking to the driver, a 65-year-old man from Croydon Park, who explained to authorities he had taken a wrong turn.
He was asked to take a breath test, which returned a positive result of 0.071. The man was reported for drink-driving and driving in a dangerous manner.
His car has been defected and impounded for 28 days.
The man will appear in court at a later date.
