Appearing as 'under the influence' but not so

Comments made by Four Walls (@FourWalls) and Max Crisp (@Orson_Kart) reminded me of a Leo Sayer concert we attended at a vineyard in Western Australia. We went with Vince’s older brother and his wife. We hadn’t had our car very long and the BIL said he’d drive us home as he wouldn’t be drinking. After such a concert, the police are usually out in force testing people for drunk driving. As we approached the police roadblock, Vin’s brother had trouble finding the indicator lever then, once we’d pulled up, he couldn’t work out how to get the window down. The policeman would have been quite sure he’d get a positive reading from the breathalyser but of course it showed no trace of alcohol. As a bit of trivia, Leo Sayer became an Australian citizen in 2009. He became an ambassador for the Canberra Hospital Foundation in 2020 and lives in New South Wales.
