Northlanders thinking they can get away with driving after a few drinks are more likely to be stopped, with Police calling out a “reckless culture” amongst some.

It comes after Northland Police conducted 37,000 breath tests across the region within the past two months.

Police officers in a variety of roles are all playing their part in reducing harm on their roads, Northland’s Road Policing Manager Inspector John Fagan says.

In the past week alone 5,500 breath screening tests were carried out as part of regular duties.
