A private school mum who was cleared of drink-driving after she blamed an alcohol level almost five times the legal limit on a health supplement has admitted flipping her Mercedes with drugs in her system. The mother-of-two initially recorded a roadside breath test reading of 0.243, then registered a second reading of 0.193 after being taken to Chatswood police station. More than a year later, her lawyer successfully argued Jansen's blood alcohol reading could have been caused by her skincare regime, combined with a reflux condition. Natasha Jansen (above) was acquitted of drink-driving after blaming an alcohol level almost five times the legal limit on a health supplement. As to why she had nodded off outside the school, Jansen gave evidence she was tired from not sleeping well the previous night.
