Driving: How many drinks?

The law states that people are allowed to drive with a maximum of 400 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath. This equates to about three standard drinks. SunLive visited Fraser Cove to see what the public thought the limit was for drinking and driving.



SunLive also asked if people felt safe driving at night time in the festive season.

Two drinks, no.
Olly Pudney, Te Puna

Two glasses of wine, yes.
Karina McPherson, Welcome Bay


One drink, yes I feel safe.
Terrence Shum, Pyes Pa

Isn't it 2? No
Sarah Cousins, Otumoetai


Three and a half drinks, Yes
Eddie Vowles, Whakatane

One I think, yeah a little more.
Jaimee Rankin, Tauranga


Two drinks, no, not really worried.
Maree Jeffcoat, Katikati
