Every few weeks, it seems that we are reporting on a recidivist drink driver who is once again going through the court system due to their behaviour.

And there are still thousands going through the justice system every year. In fact, figures show that over 15,000 people were convicted last year for driving under the influence.

Now, a new survey has shown consistent support from New Zealanders to tackle drink driving.

Conducted by the New Zealand Alcohol Beverages Council, more Kiwis are keen to see Police issue on the spot fines for minor alcohol related offences, while there remains high support for confiscating cars and the use of alcohol interlocks in cars.

With this high support in place, what can be done to get drunk drivers off our roads?

Today on The Front Page, we discussing how we can curb drunk drivers with Virgina Nicholls, executive director of the New Zealand Alcohol Beverages Council.
