Dear New Zealand Police,

I reside in New Zealand and am a New Zealand citizen.

I request the following information to be provided through a formal response.

Can I be provided the updated content of "Impaired driving"

I note that the previously published impaired driving instructions is detailed as phase 1, can I please be provided phase 2

Phase 2 was previously requested however it was noted that further amendments to legislation were required prior. These amendments have now passed their third reading and will commence no later than the 1st of April 2026.

If Phase 2 is not yet published for frontline staff, can either the details on the draft of this document, or the draft itself be provided in place, noting that the document would be understood as not yet in use but with the assumption that it will take effect when the amendments take effect and the oral detection devices are available.

If no draft document is available, can it please be detailed when this is expected to be available. Additionally if no draft document is available, I would like to extend this request to obtaining that document once it is published, noting that this may require an extended period of time, if it is so, can the responses to this request please be returned independent of each other.

Additionally can it be noted if there are additional phases for this document planned for the near future?

If this can be provided with urgency that would be appreciated given these changes are coming into effect, I understand this may not be possible.

This information is required for drivers to be able to understand the process that will take place in real life rather than just the legislative wording, it is important that we can understand this prior to the amendments commencing.

Yours faithfully,

F Cook
