Police stopped an Auckland driver on Christmas night who was almost six times over the drink-drive limit.
The driver was charged with excess breath alcohol and had their licence suspended.
"We are disappointed with some of the driving we have seen over the last couple of days,"
Sergeant Mark Fleming, of Counties Manukau Police, said.
"Not only are people doing unsafe passing manoeuvres and driving at excessive speeds, we've also seen some people driving under the influence.
"People are unnecessarily putting themselves, their passengers and other road users at risk in what is already a high risk time on our roads."
