A 45-year-old man was arrested for driving at a slow speed on the N1 north in Midrand, the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) said on Sunday.
JMPD Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said the man was driving at 30km/h on the fast lane of the highway on Saturday night.
"He was caught driving his Mazda 6 in the fast lane, at 30km/h with the vehicle's head-lights off, on a national road that is a 120km/h zone," Minnaar said.
When the man was pulled over and instructed to get out of the car, he struggled to stand upright to take a breathalyser, Minnaar said.
"He tested 0.90mlg which is nearly four times above the legal limit of 0.24mlg."
The man was arrested and taken to the Midrand police station.
He was expected to appear in the Randburg Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, to face a drunk driving charge.
