Two people may face drink-driving convictions after being pulled over in the latest stint of police booze stops in Hawke's Bay.
Eastern District road policing manager Inspector Matt Broderick said two people pulled over on Thursday night at a booze stop at the intersection of Karamu Rd and Jervois St blew breath-alcohol readings of over 400mcg.
Readings above 400mcg can attract a maximum penalty of three months' imprisonment or a fine of $4500 and the court must order the person disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver licence for at least six months.
Inspector Broderick said another stop 20 minutes later at Farndon Rd in Clive snagged one person with a breath-alcohol reading just below 400mcg, meaning they copped 50 demerit points and an instant fine, and two forbidden drivers.
Earlier this month police expressed concerns their drink-driving messages weren't getting through to road users after the Traffic Alcohol Booze Bus had a weekend in Gisborne when 19 drivers failed the three stages of testing - passive test, screening test and evidential test.
