Anti-drink driving programme achieving results

By: Nina Burton | New Zealand News | Tuesday October 2 2012 12:21

 

An anti-drink driving programme is achieving remarkable results.

Out of 292 recidivist drink drivers who did the Drive Soba programme between 2007 and 2011, only 18 had been caught re-offending.

AA spokesman Mike Noon says that equates to six percent, compared with the average re-offending rate of 27 percent.

He says getting recidivist drink drivers to change their ways is crucial to making the roads safer.

Mike Noon says the results are outstanding and speak for themselves.
