Traffic Cop Stop – The Reason Why Some Don’t Get Caught

11 May 2011 By Alan Straton

Our intrepid ‘Steve Irwin of Port Elizabeth Roads’ reports that the two ‘ruffians’ in the vehicle below were weaving from side to side in BROAD DAYLIGHT.

After snapping the vehicle he managed to draw up next to them and observed that they had open drink containers from which they were thirstily quaffing. Now we are unable to state that they were actually drunk but based on their lack of driving skills one would be forgiven for thinking so.

This is the reason why some people DON'T get caught for Drinking and Driving - they do it during the day!

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.

    The photo is meaningless without the number on the number plate. The photographer could also have called the Police on his cellphone & reported the incident while it was still in progress & followed the car to its destination. The police could have then taken over. If driver got out before their arrival then no hope of a case.
