All Black great Dan Carter has revealed regret over his drink-driving arrest in Paris earlier this year.
The 2015 World Cup winner was caught with a blood alcohol level of 0.98g per litre, above the limit of 0.5g when stopped by French police in February.
The Racing 92 star had to leave his car, but was not placed in custody.
Carter talked about his experience publicly for the first time on Friday, speaking to TVNZ.
The 35-year-old admitted he learned a lesson earlier in the year.
"It puts everything into perspective and the things that are important to you in life," said Carter.
"Your family and friends are the people that really stick by you and I have learned a lot from that incident, and also all the other things going on at the club with the merger, players coming and going.
"It was a pretty crazy season and probably the most dramatic season that I've been a part of in my 15 years of playing the game."
Sponsor Land Rover dropped Carter as a brand ambassador after his arrest.
