A spokesperson said: “This BMW was stopped in Abingdon as it was seen to be weaving in the road. The driver was in fact sober and just avoiding potholes.”
The driver was allowed to continue with no further action from police after the stop check.
It comes after Oxfordshire experienced a ‘pothole crisis’ over the winter and spring, when more than 1,000 emergency reports of dangerous potholes were being made to the county council each week.
