A daytime drink-driving checkpoint in Christchurch has caught four drivers, one of them three times over the legal alcohol limit.
Police said the drivers were caught between 8:30am and 2:30pm on Thursday.
Sergeant Ben Rutherford said it was a disappointing result, and police saw too many preventable deaths on the roads.
"These four drivers are a reminder that no matter the time of day, drink-driving is an issue.
"Expect us to be out in force any time, anywhere."
He said the police made no apology for targeting high-risk behaviour such as drink-driving.
