Kiwi socialite Pebbles Hooper has filmed herself pulling out of traffic in Auckland and apparently illegally driving down a designated bus lane.
The former gossip columnist and daughter of fashion designer Denise L'Estrange-Corbet posted a short clip on Instagram where she pulls out of heavy traffic in Auckland and appears to drive down a bus lane.
In the video she asks her followers to vote on whether she should "hit" the designated lane.

She then films herself pulling out of the traffic and driving down the bus lane with the caption "Skkkrrrrrrrrrr".
Auckland Transport told Newshub on Tuesday that special vehicle lanes, which include bus lanes, T2 and T3 lanes, are "only for use by buses, bikes, motorbikes and mopeds during the restriction times, except the Northern Busway, which is for buses only."
If you get caught driving in a special vehicle lane, it's a $150 fine, which has been set by Government legislation, Auckland Transport added.
Newshub reached out to Ms Hooper for comment, but she did not answer her phone.
Hooper's mother, Denise L'Estrange-Corbet, has come under fire this week after a Spinoff investigation revealed multiple garments of her fashion brand World were labeled as made in New Zealand but are manufactured in China and Bangladesh.
