An Invercargill woman literally stopped traffic when she flashed her breasts at motorists, causing a car to run into her.
Cherelle May Dudfield, 18, appeared before Judge David Holderness in the Invercargill District Court yesterday charged with disorderly behaviour.
She admitted the charge.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Rob Mills said Dudfield had stood in the middle of the road flashing her breasts at passing motorists on September 27, but the fun went awry when one of the vehicles crashed into her.
Dudfield attempted to run from its path, but rolled over the bonnet, cracking the windscreen, he said. She had not suffered any injuries.
She told police she flashed the drivers after being "egged on" by her friend, Mr Mills said.
Duty solicitor John Fraser said while Dudfield's actions had been "stupidity in the extreme", there was a question of whether the driver could have been more careful. However, Mr Fraser conceded the driver could have been "distracted".
Judge Holderness said Dudfield's behaviour had been dangerous and she was lucky the consequences were not more severe.
He fined her $275.
