The head of Germany's Protestant church has admitted drink-driving, after she was charged with passing a red light while three times over the legal limit.
Bishop Margot Kaessmann, a divorced mother of four children, was appointed as the church's first female leader last year.
After she was arrested in Hanover, at the weekend, she told Germany's Bild newspaper: "I am shocked at myself that I could have made such a grave error."
Soon afterwards, she did the decent thing and resigned, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8534761.stm
Not something that we're used to see in the post-socialist, (relatively) young democracies!
