The Government is giving police new powers to target fleeing drivers in an announcement made to the media in Hamilton.
Justice Minister Kiri Allan stated that if you’re thinking of being a fleeing driver, there will be tougher consequences. These include taking away an offender’s vehicle for good and harsher penalties around loss of licence.
Police can also impound a car for 28 days if its’ owner refuses to give details about a fleeing driver.
