A new car owner is set to have his car confiscated after the previous owner was caught for drink-driving.
The drink-driver was caught by police when his car ran out of fuel, but now a judge's order to seize the offending Subaru could leave the new owner carless.
Blenheim man
Chase Lum was pulled over by police on October 21 where he gave a breath test of 981 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath, a police summary said.
The legal limit is 250mcg.
The driver admitted drink-driving when he appeared in the Blenheim District Court on Monday, but the judge had a message for the new car owner: "The new owner can argue the toss".
