Drivers suspected of being drunk will have their blood tested at roadblocks if the police agrees to a request from the Western Cape’s provincial transport department to issue case numbers on the spot.

This is part of the department’s latest plan to combat drunken driving.

A driver’s blood cannot be tested unless a case of drunken driving has been opened and a case number has been issued by the SAPS, whose members are present at some roadblocks run by provincial authorities.
