- Description
Four vignettes illustrate views of what constitutes 'chemical testing'. The headline reads, The N.Z. Traffic Institute is to urge Mr McAlpine (Minister of Transport) to introduce chemical testing for intoxication in car drivers. An official observes an inebriated man sitting in a bath labelled acid, and comments that it's only water, but anyone jumping in when told must be drunk. A man is suspended over a bunsen burner in order to make him confess to 'driving under the influence'. A pair of shoes and a puff of smoke is all that remains in the next chemical experiment. The last shows the official at a driver testing station with a man who is thoroughly wet, saying he's positive because he was held down in a tub of litmus and turned blue.
