David Warner will \u201caccept responsibility\u201d for drink-driving, his lawyer told reporters on Thursday after a Sydney court hearing.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old cricketer faces a \u201cmiddle-range\u201d drink-driving charge, court documents showed, after allegedly being more than twice the legal limit in Sydney in April.<\/p>\n

Warner \u2014 one of Australia\u2019s best-known sportspersons \u2014 is accused of being at the wheel of a van and stopping short of a random testing site, before being breath-tested, arrested and taken to a police station.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can indicate that David will be accepting responsibility for drink-driving,\u201d defence lawyer Bobby Hill told reporters outside court, according to public broadcaster ABC.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo many of us make those poor decisions. I think what\u2019s important is accepting and being accountable for those poor decisions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Warner\u2019s lawyer argued that the case showed the risk people take when trying to assess whether they have drunk too much.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re a tradesman, a doctor or one of the best opening batsmen in the world, that danger exists for every one of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former international opener Warner, who captains Sydney Thunder in the domestic Big Bash League, did not appear in court and has not entered a plea, local media said.<\/p>\n

Court documents showed the next hearing was set for June 24.<\/p>\n
