A man driving with a breath-alcohol level almost twice the legal limit told police he was better at driving drunk than his friends.
Joshua Patrick Homan, 20, has appeared in the Rotorua District Court and pleaded guilty to one charge of dangerous driving and one of drink-driving.
According to the
police summary of facts, Homan was spotted by a police patrol while driving in Rotorua about 1.10am on June 7.
After police switched on their lights and sirens Homan drove at speed along the wrong side of the road, narrowly missing the curb and mounting the footpath.
As he approached a roundabout he slowed down. He pulled over and admitted that he had been drinking.
