On social media Carter posted: "Just got back in New Zealand for what was supposed to be a fun pre planned holiday.
"Seeing the family again puts fresh perspective on just how big a mistake I made. #dontdrinkanddrive."
Carter made an apology on Facebook yesterday after being caught drink driving in Paris, saying he was glad no one was hurt.
The French newspaper L'Equipe reported Carter was stopped on Wednesday by police and had a blood alcohol concentration nearly twice the legal limit.
