A Sydney mother has publicly apologised for getting caught driving while nine times over the legal limit.
Susan Lung, 42, claimed she drank six glasses of wine before she got behind the wheel of her silver Audi car on Friday night.
When she was breathalysed by police around midnight, she recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.445 – almost nine times the legal limit, 9 News reported.
The mother from Willoughby, on Sydney’s well-heeled North Shore, admitted she made a ‘stupid mistake’ and ‘could have injured people’.
