A German man attempted to make a call with a breathalyser after mistaking it for an iPhone.
Bernhard Becker, 41, tried to contact his lawyer on the machine when he was stopped for a random drug test in Coburg.

He was subsequently arrested for drink driving when he failed to provide a sample.
A police spokesperson said: "We didn't really need the reading. There aren't many sober people who'd do that.
"He thought it was an iPhone, and was trying to bring up the icons on the display, and despite explaining to him that it was a breathalyser he was unable to provide a proper sample.
"He could barely stand so the result was not really in doubt, but nevertheless he was taken to a local hospital where a blood test was taken that we suspect will confirm he was well over the limit."
