Thousands of attempts by high-risk drunk drivers to get behind the steering wheel have been stopped thanks to a palm-sized device.
The Automobile Association said alcohol interlocks in the cars of high-risk drunk drivers stopped 37,061 attempts to use the vehicle in 2020.
The device has been mandatory for many high-risk drivers since 2018. But New Zealand is still falling well short of the number of interlocks needed on the roads.
AA spokesperson Dylan Thomsen spoke to Corin Dann.
