Zero tolerance on speeding drivers all year round as Kiwi cops get tough on motorists
Hi neighbours,
Do you sometimes drive a few kms over the speed limit? Road police have scrapped their speed buffer on Kiwi roads in favour of a no tolerance approach.

Previously, besides zero tolerance long weekends, it was understood police could exercise discretion up to 10kmh over the speed limit.
