Drink-driving

Updated: 9 July 2010

Youth drink-driving is one of the largest causes of death and injuries on New Zealand roads. Each year, young drivers cause nearly half of all alcohol-related road crashes.

On this page:

Our current drink-driving campaign aims to change the behaviour of these young drivers.

The campaign does this in two ways:

  1. It shows the instant and chilling consequences of drink-driving; it links drink-driving by young people with the risk to themselves and their mates demonstrating that if they crash, they won't always walk away.
  2. It shows that there are alternatives to drink- driving, ie having a sober driver, taking a taxi. It encourages sober driving as something that mates do to get each other home safely.
