Australia's far-north burnished its reputation for outrageous behaviour Friday when a Darwin court fined a man for driving while having sex with his girlfriend.
The 33-year-old builder, Brad Milne, was also convicted of drink driving and not wearing a seatbelt.
A fellow motorist witnessed erratic driving and called police after Milne drew level with him at a traffic light, and he observed the amorous behaviour.
'Being so significant to social thinking, we wanted to see whether MA users were impaired in these specific thought processes - and they clearly were,' he said.
'We therefore know that MA use has psychological consequences, and, potentially, consequences for these individuals' social functioning,' he said, according to a ANU release.
The study was published recently in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology.
