Tara Macmillan: Waka Kotahi catches 240,000 drivers on phones, not wearing seatbelts in six months but won't issue fines

Waka Kotahi says evidence thousands of Auckland drivers are using handheld cellphones or not wearing seatbelts is just a small slice of the problem. It caught 242,000 potential offences using safety cameras at three locations in a six-month trial. Waka Kotahi's Tara Macmillan told Mike Hosking fines won't be issued, because punishment isn't under the Agency's mandate. She says the legislation doesn't let it issue fines.
