An Auckland man was “shocked” to learn he had failed a breathalyser test due to using hand sanitiser before being pulled over, Stuff reports. “The officer taking the test questioned me about the result, and when I told her I hadn’t had any alcohol she asked if I’d used hand sanitiser recently,” the man said. A police spokesman said there were three steps in testing if a driver was under the influence of alcohol. The first step, known as the passive breath test, could pick up alcohol-based products, like hand sanitiser.
