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

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.
