A pregnant 14-year-old driver was allegedly six times over the legal alcohol limit when she was pulled over in Whangarei on Tuesday night.
Acting Sergeant Kevin Crawford told the Northern Advocate the girl, who was four months pregnant, was stopped after her driving caught police attention.
She allegedly gave a false name and had difficulty spelling it.
She was forbidden to drive and taken to Whangarei police station, where she recorded a breath-alcohol level of 828mcg. The legal limit for drivers under 20 is 150mcg and driving licences are not issued to people under 15.
The girl would be referred to Youth Aid, Mr Crawford said.
