Ainsley Fairhead was disqualified from driving for 33-months after blowing over six times the legal limit

A personal trainer who had consumed a large amount of wine blew a staggering reading after she was witnessed crashing into a parked car at 3.30pm.

A drink driver who drank a significant amount of wine after receiving some bad news is remorseful for then getting behind the wheel.

A police prosecutor told the court a witness heard a loud crashing noise at Glenelg South on December 9 at 3.30pm.

“He saw a light coloured car collide with a parked car on the side of the road,” the prosecutor said.

“He saw the female driver attempting to put the car into gear and managed to get it moving again … he watched her drive away with smoke coming from the tyres as it rubbed against the bodywork of the vehicle.”

The witness reported the incident to police who arrived and found Fairhead a short distance away.

Fairhead was breathalysed and returned a reading of 0.315.

She was issued with an immediate 12-month licence disqualification.

“She states she only had two drinks of red wine,” the prosecutor said.

Fairhead, of Glenelg North, pleaded guilty in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Friday to drink driving and driving without due care.

Daniel Weekley, for Fairhead, told the court Fairhead had work earlier that day before going to visit her grandmother, where she drank several piccolo bottles of prosecco.

“She had received some bad news that day in terms of her mother – she had been diagnosed with a brain tumour,” Mr Weekley said.

“In her car again she was quite emotional and distressed and drank at quite a rapid pace several more piccolo bottles of prosecco.”

Mr Weekley said Fairhead did not have an explanation for why her reading was so high.

“No explanation? She had a massive amount of alcohol,” magistrate Nick Alexandrides said.

The court heard Fairhead works at an insurance company, as well as running her own personal training business called Ainsley Fairhead Strength and Conditioning

“She is remorseful for her conduct, she regrets the offending,” Mr Weekley said.

The court heard Fairhead, who has a previous drink driving conviction, sought a referral for an alcohol counselling service after the incident.

Mr Alexandrides fined Fairhead $1600 and disqualified her from driving for 33-months.

“This is the highest blood-alcohol reading I have had to deal with in my history as a magistrate,” Mr Alexandrides said.

“It’s fortunate that you were not seriously injured or killed in a collision.”

Convictions were recorded.
