A 44-year old Dutch motorist has stunned traffic police by drinking so much that their breathalyser crashed.
The man, from Krommenie, had so much alcohol in his breath that the machine in Wormerveer first refused to work and then showed out of range.
Some time later a police doctor gave the man, who has not been named, a blood test which showed the driver had seven times too much alcohol in his blood.
Police, who had flagged the motorist down for erratic driving, say he claimed to have only drunk "four beers".
A courts in Haarlem has since sentenced the man to a 15-month driving ban, a £600 fine and a two-week suspended jail sentence.
I'm surprised he could still see....
