A woman has lost her license after causing a car crash by performing a sex act on a driver.
Lela Jane Josephs, 34, appeared in Whanganui District Court in New Zealand on Thursday on charges of dangerous driving and perverting the course of justice.
She wasn’t driving but was still charged after being accused of the risqué behaviour on driver Andre Teka in the lead up to the crash.
A judge told Josephs: ‘You contributed to him losing control of the car and crashing through a farm fence.’

Joesphs admitted to the two offences while separate charges including driving while disqualified and drink driving were dismissed.
She was ultimately sentenced to three and a half months in prison.

However, the judge commuted the sentence to 40 hours of community work and 12 months of intensive supervision.
Additionally, Josephs lost her license and was fined NZ $750 (AUD $670) and ordered to pay NZ $162.50 (AUD $145) for damaging the fence.
Just before midnight on June 27 last year following the crash, Josephs was found in the passenger seat with Andre Teka driving the car.

Teka fled the scene before police arrived. Then, neighbours contacted them over Josephs, who had been left behind.
They claimed she was intoxicated and asked them for help in an ‘abusive manner’.
Cops found that Joseph had consumed 786 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath, well over the the legal limit in New Zealand of 250mcg.
The woman also gave authorities a false name and informed them that she was not the one driving.
