Johannesburg Metro Police said on Sunday that it had arrested 261 people for drunk driving in the city over the weekend.

The drivers were arrested at various road blocks, Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said.

And how many of these will actually stick given the shocking state of forensic labs?

That is a ridiculous amount of people... WOW.

Was there some kind of big event in Jo'Burg over the weekend?

Yes. Friday night.
Drunk driving is the national sport up here

"One drunken driver escaped from the Brixton police station when he told a female officer that he needed to use the toilet," he said.

That is pretty scary :wtf:

Wow that's a lot. I don't condemn drunk driving but if only this sort of effort was put into illegal alien's and criminals we would have a better country with less alcohol use.

So that's just a sample of how many people drive drunk on weekends. Maybe staying indoors is much better to avoid meeting these idgits. Rather drink at home fellas and save others

These people are criminals though.

Don't know where the alien aspect comes in...?

The reason I try to avoid the N1 on a Friday evening. Either some super drunk speeder or a car they drivers over two lanes. Then there are the ghost cars (have no lights) and the overloaded cars (avoiding the cops)

Well done. Get them off the streets.

 

[Pitbull]

Scary thought though is how many slipped through these road blocks? I have been waved on a couple of times will a little under the influence. It's insane... 261 drivers...

I am ashamed to say that I was one of the drunk people this weekend who never got caught... I will not do it again.

Never say never

 

[zululami]

Never say never

But you just did yourself... :erm:

 

[Dolby]

I wonder how much it is to setup one of these labs?

Someone should open a private lab to assist and, with the demand, it should be generating a profit quite early

I hope you get caught and punished next time

It's the law of averages. The more you do it, the more likely you are to be caught. It will eventually catch up with you.
