Cops shocked at results of weekend drink driving blitz
Inspector Dave Walker, the Auckland Motorways Commander, says in recent weeks, there’s been tragic results when children in vehicles were not restrained or inadequately restrained when involved in accidents.
“We have seen a lack of due care by some adults in the vehicles to ensure the safety of those children.
“The two drivers caught during this operation are showing a blatant disregard to their children by driving over the legal breath alcohol limit, while the children are in the vehicle with them.”
A weekend Police operation targeting alcohol impaired drivers on Auckland Motorways resulted in 44 people detected driving with excess breath alcohol.
