Drinking and driving in Driving in New Zealand

New Zealand Police strictly enforce alcohol limits for drivers (0.08 for drivers over 20, 0.0 for drivers under 20). Police often set up checkpoints, sometimes around a whole city centre, and even on motorways. Any and every traffic stop is also an opportunity for testing for drink-driving. Police use breath alcohol test devices to detect drivers who have been drinking. Drivers who fail these roadside screening tests will be asked to undertake a evidential breath or blood alcohol test. Refusal will result in arrest.
