Out on the roads? So are Police

We know alcohol is a major contributor to crashes on New Zealand roads, yet South Waikato residents are still getting behind the wheel after drinking, hurting our communities with unnecessary harm.

NZ Police, NZTA and partners are coming together this October to collectively target people in our District, and across the country, who continue to think it’s ok to drink and then drive.

Throughout October and November, people will be reminded of the consequences through education and advertising, backed up on the ground by Police vehicle checks, enforcement and driver education.

If you’re over the limit, not only can you face fines, demerit points, or loss of licence – you put others at risk of death or serious injury. Make choices that keep yourself and others safe, because there's more to lose than your licence. Click here to learn more.
