A man was caught having sex while driving because he and his girlfriend could not wait until they reached their destination, an Australian court has heard.
Bradley Dean Milne, 33, was charged with not wearing his seatbelt, driving without due care and drink-driving when a witness called police after seeing his car swerving all over the road. Darwin Magistrates Court heard that the couple were planning to drive to East Arm Wharf in the Mazda ute to have sex.
Police prosecutor Leigh Cahill said Milne "became aroused" and the woman gave him oral sex while he was driving until they reached the traffic lights at the Berrimah Rd intersection. Milne was swerving from one side of the road to the other until the car stopped at the lights. They turned right onto Berrimah Rd, and the woman straddled Milne while he kept driving, swerving into the kerbside and back into the middle lane.
When police stopped the car and Milne was asked why he had been drinking - with a blood alcohol concentration of .097 per cent - he said: "Come on, mate. What would you do? We were going to the wharf but we didn't quite get there."
Milne's lawyer Ian Rowbottam said that Milne was too embarrassed to speak about the incident again. Mr Rowbottam told the court that Milne had not been paying attention to his intoxication, and had been surprised at the reading. He wasn't concentrating on that - he was concentrating on his amorous situation," he said.
Magistrate Hugh Bradley said he would not focus on things that were not unlawful, but told Milne he needed to be more careful when driving. "If these things are going to happen, you need to stop driving," he said. He fined Milne $1400 and disqualified him from driving for six months.
