National is targeting drink driving and dangerous drivers with a package of road safety messages announced this week.
Changes include:
- A zero drink-drive limit for repeat drink drivers
- A zero drink-drive limit for drivers under 20
- Tougher penalties for serious offences causing death and drink driving causing death
- Alcohol interlocks for repeat drink-drivers.
The Government will conduct New Zealand research on the risk posed by drivers with a blood-alcohol level between 0.05 and 0.08 before making a final call.
We are targeting the people most likely to break the law - those with a history of offending and young people. If we can get drink driving under control, we’ll see a significant reduction in the overall road toll.
