Thirty-eight drivers were caught over the drink-driving limit during a police operation across Rotorua over the weekend.
Police operated a number of checkpoints across Rotorua on Friday and Saturday evening, police said in a statement today.
About 3880 breath tests were conducted over the two evenings, with 38 drivers processed for excess breath alcohol.
Rotorua Area Road Policing Manager Senior Sergeant Geoff Barnett said 38 was a disappointing number “but there were lots of drivers doing the right thing”.
“It was great to see a lot of motorists driving sober, but disappointing that there are still people driving after drinking,” he said.
