Man fails roadside breathalyser test after using hand sanitiser
Kia ora neighbours, an Auckland man was “shocked” to learn he had failed a breathalyser test due to using hand sanitiser before being pulled over.
Ben Shivas had been driving home from work on Thursday evening when he arrived at a police checkpoint in Herne Bay.
Shivas, 26, was surprised to learn he had failed the roadside test despite not having drunk any alcohol that day.
