Francesca Rudkin: Will an increase in breath testing stop people drink driving?

Thanks to another announcement from the Transport Minister Simeon Brown over the weekend, the police have a new target to add to their 'To Do' list.

The government has announced a crackdown on drunk and drugged drivers, setting the police a target of performing 3.3 million roadside alcohol tests a year and 50,000 roadside drug tests a year.

Anything we can do to get impaired people off our roads and prevent the carnage they can cause is a good thing.
