Bubble O' Booze

According to the good people of news.com.au a convicted Victorian drink-driver was able to have his alcohol interlock device removed from his vehicle because of icecream.

In Australia, repeat drink-drivers cars can be been fitted with a device that requires you to blow a 0.00 reading before allowing you to start them. Despite not waiting the required 15 mins after eating or drinking, this motorist took his case to court to have the device removed because he claimed that it was inaccurate and therefore pointless after blowing a positive reading due to a Bubble O' Bill.

As there was no real way to determine if it was true or not, the magistrate ordered a breathaliser and ice cold Bubble O from the local deli over the road. Sure enough he blew a 0, took 3 bites and then blew a 0.018 which would have been enough for him to be stranded at the roadside.

Victoria has one of the worlds largest active vehicle interlock programs. Despite their controversy, its claimed that "Thousands of trips where someone might have driven under the influence of alcohol have been prevented from interlock devices."

After all that, don't you just want to go and get one? Especially on a nice summers day like today.
