In the video recorded to demonstrate the difference between"lung" and"mouth" alcohol readings, a traffic officer blows into a screening device and is declared sober.
After eating a hot cross bun, he is immediately tested again and found to have a positive reading of 0.21mg. The legal alcohol breath limit for driving in SA is less than 0.24mg per 1,000ml of breath."The purpose of alcohol testing devices is to determine the driver's blood alcohol concentration in the body specimen. The video shows mouth alcohol concentration, which is not sufficient evidence to charge a motorist for drunken driving," said the RTMC.
There were mixed reactions to the Checkers' tweet, with some users saying they would not be eating hot cross buns this Easter as they do not want to be arrested. "I for one will not be consuming any buns. Whether it's hot cross or cold cross. Andizi. I can’t be arrested for flour," said @Shepherd Silayi.
"Will that explanation keep us out of jail. You do know that if we get arrested tomorrow, we will only be released on Tuesday," said @TboozeSA.A video has been doing the rounds on social media showing that eating a hot cross bun could affect the reading on a breathalyzer. Western Cape MMC for safety JP Smith said the incorrect reading on the alcohol tester would only apply immediately after eating the food. Subscribe to TimesLIVE here: https://www.youtube.

Is this halaal?😀 I once watched a show called diagnose me. Who had an auto brewery syndrome. Your body brews alcohol out of the carbohydrates you eat.
