Do you think police do enough breath testing in Whangārei?
Road safety advocates say plummeting police breath test numbers could be contributing to Northland’s “appalling” road toll this year and alcohol-related crashes more than 50% higher than any other region.
There have been 21 deaths on Northland’s roads so far, the highest road toll figures for January to June in the last five years.
The cause of these crashes is still under investigation, but the latest report by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency showed Northland had the highest rate of alcohol-related crashes in December 2020.
Meanwhile, the number of police breath screening tests for drink-driving has dropped to just a third of the number in 2014-15.
Do you think police do enough breath testing where you are? Are you worried about drink driving?

Come to Octagon Theatre's latest production!
12 ANGRY JURORS
By Sherman L. Sergel
Directed by Tracey Lawson
From March 6th to 22nd at the Octagon Theatre, 13 Aubrey St, Regent.
This is a taught courtroom thriller, where all the evidence has been presented and the jury is now locked away to decide if a young man is guilty of killing his father.
What looks to be an open-and-shut case of murder slowly morphs into a mystery to be solved as a series of clues begin to create doubt amongst some members of the jury.
On top of that, each of the jurors' have their own prejudices about the young man being accused (as well as each other).
The young man swears he's innocent and these 12 strangers have his life in their hands. One thing is certain. No one leaves the room until his fate is sealed.
