A mother alleged to have been drunk behind the wheel when she dropped her children off at a Hastings primary school, has also been charged with ill treatment in relation to the incident.
The woman, who has interim name suppression, was picked up by police this month when she crashed
into a parked car as she dropped off her children at school.
Police said when they arrived she had dropped one child off at the school gate, while the other child was still in the back seat of the car and wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
Witnesses also told police both children were not wearing seatbelts during the journey.
The woman was taken to Hastings Police Station and processed for drink-driving.
