“I Would Have Panicked”: South Africans Amused as Cops Stop Woman Drinking Alcohol-Free Beverage

• A TikTok video showed a woman drinking a non-alcoholic beverage being pulled over by local traffic authorities
• The woman seemed excited to show that she was not consuming alcohol and blew into the breathalyser
• Local social media users described the woman as brave and said they wouldn't dare try such a stunt

Popular X user Mr Smeg reshared a TikTok video of a woman drinking a non-alcoholic beverage behind the wheel. The motorist was ready to show the traffic cops that she was as sober as could be.

TikTok user Siphelelisiwe Nhleko uploaded the video to the social media platform on 14 December 2025, and it appeared on Mr Smeg's timeline two days later. The video showed the driver drinking a bottle of Savanna 0.0 alcohol-free, lemon-flavoured cider during the traffic stop. The cops, who were conducting a roadblock, pulled her over, and she rolled down the window with the bottle still in her hand.
