Police stop more than 100 drink-drivers in weekend crackdown
9:45AM Sunday May 13, 2007
Police stopped 106 drivers with excess breath alcohol in a crackdown on drink driving in Auckland City this weekend.
City Police and the Traffic Alcohol Group stopped 6211 cars from 3am on Saturday and Sunday.
They arrested seven people, impounded eight cars and took licences off 16 drivers after they registered high breath readings.
Of those found to be over the limit based on breath tests, 27 were aged under 20 and only 18 were travelling to addresses within the city, Inspector Heather Wells said.
"This means they would have considerable distances to travel on open roads and clearly indicates the risk they put on other road users," she said.
