Police in South West Iceland stopped two foreign drivers last week who were driving erratically due to the Northern Lights. Both incidents took place on the highway leading to Keflavík International Airport.
The local news site Víkurfréttir reports that in one incidence police noticed a car driving to the airport which swerved erratically between lanes. Officers suspected the driver was intoxicated and stopped the car. The driver, who turned out to be completely sober, offered the explanation that the Northern Lights had suddenly appeared and that he had been unable to keep his eyes on the road as a result.
