A alleged drink-driver travelled on the wrong side of the road on State Highway 1, in Dunedin, before pulling over and falling asleep. Senior sergeant Craig Dinnissen said the vehicle had no lights on and was travelling at 100km between East Taieri and Mosgiel, at 10.45pm on Saturday. She was driving on a zero alcohol licence and recorded an excess blood alcohol of 1024mcg. It was ‘‘very lucky that it did not result in a crash or fatality . driving with no lights on on that stretch of road’’ he said.
