File photo.
Police say they have been catching unfortunate numbers of drink-drivers in blitzes around the country.
Last weekend in Hamilton, 71 people were over the limit, out of about 10,300 tested - one in every 145 drivers tested.
And one man was caught drunk driving twice in one night.
In two weekends in Bay of Plenty last month, 180 people were caught driving while impaired.
On the first weekend, officers found one in every 83 vehicles stopped was driven by a drunk driver, and the next weekend, the drivers of one in 75 vehicles stopped were over the limit.
