A morning police checkpoint proved costly for some Dunedin drivers yesterday.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police set up a checkpoint outside Briscoes, in Crawford St.
The checkpoint was in place between 8am and 9am.
Police issued 17 infringement notices during the hour, 15 for drivers using their cellphones.
"It is disappointing that motorists still continue to use their phone and distract themselves from driving," Snr Sgt Bond said.
