The Road Traffic Management Corporation has assured motorists that it was highly unlikely they would be arrested if alcohol was found in their system after they had eaten hot cross buns.
He was asked to blow into a breathalyser machine, which indicated he was sober.
“Guys, beware. This is dangerous,” the officer taking the video said, while the officer who had eaten the buns appeared stunned. “The public should be aware that the device used is a screening instrument and the first results obtained from it have to be validated through further tests before an arrest can be made,” Zwane said.
This means that while the breathalyser may have shown that the officer had some alcoholic substance in his mouth, a blood test may show otherwise.
