If you eat cake and drive you're a bloody idiot

Wolfgang L,lost his license because he failed a drug test which showed traces of morphine in his urine.

But he denies drug abuse, saying he had recently eaten mohnnudeln, an Austrian speciality consisting of noodles, poppyseeds and fruit.

Reinhard Fous, head police doctor in Vienna, and toxicologist Rainer Schmidt say police were wrong to withdraw Wolfgang L's license. They are convinced that eating Mohnnudeln doesn't affect anybody's ability to drive a car safely. Fous states Wolfgang ''wasn't under the influence of drugs, but poppyseed contains morphines, which can indeed be traced in a urine test.".
