Jo Haylen has quit as the New South Wales transport minister after it was revealed she used a ministerial car for personal purposes.

It recently emerged that Haylen had asked her chauffeur to take her and some friends to a winery lunch on the Australia Day holiday weekend in a 13-hour 446km round-trip.

It was also reported that Haylen used a taxpayer-funded driver to ferry herself and her children from Caves Beach to Sydney for weekend sporting events. 

 Australian correspondent Murray Olds says this isn't a good look for an MP to use a tax-payer funded vehicle for personal reasons.
