What are the best ways to get around without drink-driving?
Ioakimi Sale has been sent to jail for four-and-a-half years for drink-driving causing the death of pregnant 18-year-old Nga Roimata Beattie-Rihari (pictured, centre). He had six prior drink-driving convictions before her death on April 19. That day he spent seven hours drinking - including driving to the shops to replenish his stock - before getting behind the wheel again. Beattie-Rihari's brother said Sale could have just walked around Moerewa after he had been drinking. What are other ways of getting around Northland without drink-driving?
