A man has been arrested after a vehicle “weaving all over” the Waikato Expressway was stopped this morning.
A member of the public reported the vehicle was “repeatedly” crossing over two lanes at speeds between 30km/h and 100km/h.
Police signalled it to pull over near the Tamahere off-ramp about 2.40am.
Police say breath testing revealed the driver was over the limit, and the driver had also breached their bail conditions on other driving matters.
Waikato District Command Centre Senior Sergeant Wayne Shanks said it was “disappointing to see poor choices” by people drinking then driving.
“The driver was seen driving erratically so it’s frustrating that this still continues.
“We always encourage people to organise sober drivers, rideshare or a taxi if they have plans to drink.”
A 34-year-old man is due to appear in Hamilton District Court today. He appears on the other driving matters later this month in the Manukau District Court.
Police thank the member of the public who alerted them.
