According to police, Davis had been drinking when she received a message after midnight about the single-vehicle crash on The Escort Way so she got a lift to the scene.
However, she told police she was the driver and was charged with high-range drink-driving.
However, on June 29 police started an investigation after learning Davis was not the driver.
Magistrate David Day convicted Davis and placed her on a two-year Community Release Order for perverting the course of justice and he fined her $220 for not disclosing the driver's details.
