The brand new breath-testing machine was first used in the Western Cape and was launched in Pietermaritzburg.

According to the Road Traffic Management Corporation, this new device can deliver an immediate and accurate reading of the alcohol level in a driver’s bloodstream, allowing for immediate arrests to be made.

The breathalyser produces a printout showing the date, time, and alcohol in a person’s bloodstream.

Rian and the Scenic Drive team invited Graeme Matthews to test their level of alcohol in their bloodstream after they tasted the brand new 'White Walker' whiskey in the studio. 

We tested Rian after he tasted the whisky, and his results were clear with a 0.00 alcohol level.
