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?
