    Maritime New Zealand says drunk and drugged drivers have no place behind the wheel

    Maritime New Zealand says drunk and drugged drivers have no place behind the wheel


    It comes following a large fine for a Queenstown jet boat operator for a crash involving a driver who was on a mix of drugs and alcohol.

    Go Orange Limited has been ordered to 150-thousand dollars for the 2020 crash which saw four people injured.

    The Otago Daily times reports the driver was on a mix of ecstasy and the hallucinogen MDA.

    He also had a breath alcohol level double the legal limit for road.

    Maritime New Zealand says all maritime operators have a responsibility to protect their passengers.
