VANCOUVER - A man says it wasn't the 10 beers and a double cocktail that caused his car to weave before being pulled over by police.

Kristopher Lind says his attention wasn't fully on his driving because his wife had a sex toy bought that day at a sex show in Vancouver.

At his impaired driving trial in B.C., Lind testified he and his wife were driving in Vancouver when they decided to check out the sex toy.

The package proved difficult for his wife to unwrap, so she handed it to him while he was driving.

He said he opened the package with one hand, using his knee to help steer the car, and did the same again to insert batteries.

Once the device was working, he said, his wife took it

He was arrested after he failed a roadside breathalyser test.

Lind denied he was driving while drunk.

The judge will render his verdict March 28.
